Claude, GPT, and the future of testing tooling
23 Mar 2026
Something that I have been pondering on -
Developers are starting to use Claude and GPT directly to write test cases, skipping dedicated testing tools entirely. Is this a threat to the testing tooling ecosystem or a sign that the bar for 'good enough' automation has dropped?

Iāve spent 12+ years building and breaking software. After living through flaky tests, broken pipelines, and endless maintenance, I started DevAssure to rethink how quality fits into modern engineering. I believe testing shouldnāt be a separate effort or a bottleneckāit should just happen!
Always happy to talk about whatās broken in testingāand what we can do better.

If we can evaluate more explicitly we can automate more tests. Ideally, as pr DORA research this is best done by developers. Let's call it a new flavor of shift-left :).
The test tooling eco system needs to catch up and cover all types of testing - that has been an issue for long already. And for us testing specialist - to see beyond test cases.
What is left is still all the implicit and indirect - the narrative to the customer.
