AI-Driven Test Automation Implementation at Angkas

This case study details the implementation of Cursor AI IDE by Angkas, a motorcycle ride-hailing platform in the Philippines, to enhance their API test automation processes. Initially, Angkas utilized a Java-based API test automation framework with REST-Assured, which supported over 500 test cases. However, as the API footprint expanded, the limitations of the traditional approach became evident, leading to inefficiencies in test creation and maintenance. The adoption of Cursor AI IDE introduced significant improvements, including project-wide awareness, one-click code suggestions, and inline chat for live code editing. These features enabled the QA team to accelerate test automation by 30–50%, reduce manual effort, and maintain architectural consistency. The transition to Cursor AI IDE resulted in faster onboarding for new APIs, improved refactoring capabilities, and a more streamlined development process. Ultimately, Angkas experienced enhanced efficiency and quality in their test automation, allowing for quicker release timelines and expanded test coverage.
