Tools to help you with AI-assisted testing

Locked
AI-assisted testing uses tools powered by large language models and intelligent agents to support different parts of the testing process, from generating test cases, generating code, or running functional tests. These tools act as helpers and can save time and reduce repetitive tasks, but they still need your careful input and review.
In this 404 Talk, Joyz Ng shares three tools that have helped her in day-to-day testing. You’ll see how generative AI can quickly suggest test cases, how a code generator can edit and structure test scripts, and how an AI agent can run tests by clicking through the interface for you.
Resources
Joyz demonstrates three AI-assisted tools that support different parts of the testing process:
- ChatGPT (or other LLM-based chatbots): Helpful for generating test cases quickly from prompts. It can save time when documenting or brainstorming test ideas, but you need to be careful not to share sensitive data.
- Windsurf (code generator): A tool that helps write or edit automated test scripts using AI. It can add logs, structure your code, and even explain what’s happening, but prompts should be simple; complex tasks may drain resources quickly or become hard to manage.
- Playwright MCP (AI agent): Allows you to set up repeatable UI tests by describing actions instead of coding them. The agent performs the tasks, reports results, and can be reused for daily testing without writing scripts.
Here are useful resources for further exploration of AI-assisted testing:
