On 5 December, we held the next session of our ‘AI Testing Talks’ webinar featuring invited speaker Marcel Veselka, CEO and Founder of Wopee.io.
Playwright Bot: AI-Powered Test Automation
The software testing industry made significant strides since the rise of test automation over two decades ago. Yet, much of the testing process remains manual, even in an automated landscape. It's time for the next evolution: testing powered by autonomous bots. This talk explored where we stand on this journey and the transformative potential ahead.
Marcel also discussed the future of test automation with Playwright AI Bot – an advanced AI-driven tool poised to revolutionise test case generation and maintenance. He showcased the Playwright AI Bot’s powerful capabilities to autonomously crawl applications, capture screenshots and HTML data, and create comprehensive user stories that seamlessly translate into executable Playwright tests, all powered by large language models (LLMs).
During the session, Marcel emphasised real-world applications of AI and LLMs to elevate testing frameworks to new levels of efficiency and intelligence.
