#AI says the requirements are covered. What can it show you? Requirements → proposed coverage → generated tests → healing records → quality evidence. On Oct. 15, Anish Sharma will show what this evidence can look like in practice. 🔗 Register here. testgld.link/who-grades-the-…

AI assistant ≠ test generator ≠ testing platform ≠ quality system. Before evaluating an “AI testing tool,” establish what responsibility the system actually takes on and where it stops. That distinction is part of our webinar with Anish Sharma. 🔗 testgld.link/who-grades-the-…

AI is helping teams ship more code, but can their testing infrastructure handle it? 🤖 Nick says teams he speaks with report 3X output, meaning more PRs, updates, and tests to run. Hear what that means for real-device testing. 🎙️testguild.com/podcast/a606-n… @Cambrionix

An #AItesting demo can look impressive and still leave the important questions unanswered: What did it cover? What did it miss? What changed when a test healed? On Oct. 15, Anish Sharma will tackle 7 questions worth asking. 🔗 Register here: testgld.link/who-grades-the-…

#AItesting can mean very different things. An assistant, test generator, testing platform & quality system may all use the label but take responsibility for very different parts of testing. Knowing where the system stops matters. More on this next week.

⚡ Concurrent users and simultaneous requests aren’t the same and confusing them can skew your performance tests. User count alone doesn’t show the real demand hitting your system. See why it matters: testguild.com/performance-te…  #PerformanceTesting #LoadTesting #TestGuildBlog
TestGuild blog’s infographic explaining that 500 concurrent users do not mean 500 simultaneous requests. A gas station analogy shows 12 concurrent users spread across getting coffee, pumping gas, using the restroom, and waiting for service, compared with all 12 hitting the pumps at once. It also distinguishes concurrent users, simultaneous requests, and RPS, emphasizing that performance tests should define user behavior, not just user count.

Generating tests is getting easier, but knowing what actually needs testing is still the hard part. #Amikoo uses context to help narrow the regression scope. See how its #AIQAagent works. 👉testguild.com/amikoo-ai-test… #AITesting #AmikooAI #TestGuildBlog

A workflow shows the problem of running everything, then Amikoo’s AI QA agent using the code change and existing tests to identify relevant tests, suggesting 30 to run, noting 18 are automated, and offering to write five more.

🎭 Already have a #Playwright? @ShiplightAI can work alongside existing tests while you use intent-based YAML for new or high-maintenance flows. Run them locally in your own CI or on Shiplight-hosted runners. 👉 See how it fits into your testing stack. testgld.link/shiplightai
Shiplight comparison graphic showing a different approach to building and maintaining E2E tests. Traditional automation relies on selectors, manual maintenance, and automation code, while Shiplight focuses on user intent, self-healing for intended changes, less manual maintenance, agent-assisted verification, and human-readable YAML.

💡 What has your team learned about automation this year that you wish someone had told you sooner? That lesson (AI, Playwright, flaky tests, CI/CD, test strategy or something else) could become your #AG2027 talk. 🎤 Submissions close Oct. 8! testguild.com/call-for-speak… #AG27Speaker
