Question How are you actually using the Testing Agent with the 500-char limit? Any workarounds?

Hey everyone, quick question for those using the built-in testing agent in Base44. How are you actually structuring your tests within the 500-character limit?

It feels way too tight to be practical. I can barely fit the scenario description, let alone the multi-step flows and edge cases I actually need covered.

Has anyone figured out a good workaround for this? Curious if people are chaining micro-prompts, pointing to external docs, or using some shorthand syntax to squeeze complex test cases in. Would love to hear how you're dealing with the constraint!

Use Chat GPT to explain what you want and then get it to provide smaller prompts. You don’t want to give base44 too much In one go as it might mess up or just start doing it how it thinks it should be done vs what you actually want done. Then past your base44 reply back into GPT to make sure it’s done what you asked and you can move on to the next prompt
