Software Testing Live
A printscreen taken from my VScode at the end of this evenings session, which provided an introduction to using Playwright Agents and Claude code to create a "happy path" guest checkout test.
Something that was pointed out, is that I don't jump straight in to prompting for a final-state test. Instead, I try to feed the AI my thought processes and commit each step of my workings out so that PR reviewers are able to provide ACE feedback; feedback that is (A) actionable, (C) constructive and (E) example-led, especially as AI enables PR diffs to be larger than ever!
Checkout this dev.to article on writing effective PR comments and feel free to use this space to ask any follow-up questions you may have :)

Technical leader with a sixth sense for bugs. Avid learner, passionate about translating "dev-speak" to enable teams adopt automation and AI-accelerated quality engineering. I believe great software starts with user-focused problem solving, and automation should surface the bugs that PMs actually care about fixing.
