Focus
AI in testing: faster, without cutting corners on quality
AI tooling is a natural part of how I work. It takes over the tasks that used to take hours, leaving more time for what really matters: testing the right things.
-
Test design from requirements
Starting from user stories and acceptance criteria, I use AI to draft a first set of test cases. I then sharpen them, fill the gaps and prioritise by risk.
-
Exploring edge cases and risks
AI helps surface edge cases, failure scenarios and gaps in the requirements quickly, as preparation for refinement and exploratory testing.
-
Automating faster
Page objects, API clients, test data builders and refactorings: with AI assistants I build Playwright, Cypress and RestAssured suites faster, following your project's conventions.
-
Faster failure analysis
Getting to the bottom of logs, stack traces and flaky tests sooner, so a red pipeline doesn't linger and the feedback loop stays short.
-
Realistic test data
Generating varied, privacy-friendly test data for scenarios where production data can't or shouldn't be used.
-
Embedding AI in your team
Helping teams use AI tools responsibly and effectively in their testing: where it helps, where it doesn't, and how to verify the output.
AI accelerates, the tester decides.
Whatever an AI tool produces gets reviewed critically. Especially in regulated environments, where I've spent years, traceability, reviews and human judgement remain the standard.
