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!

Technical leader and QE with a sixth sense for bugs. Avid learner and reader interested in decoding “dev-speak” to enable engineering teams to adopt automation and AI accelerated quality engineering. I believe good software starts with user-focused problem solving and that automation should provide information on regression bugs that PMs actually care about fixing.
