The higher the risk, the more likely you need a testing specialist involved in your software project.

@chriszeuch I’ve set this as my main agent, and the rest are customized defaults.

@chriszeuch Love the characters, I’d play this game

Verification engineering and CI bottleneck is a hot topic right now.

Existing paradigms shifted:
- diffs matter less, outcomes matter more
- reviewing means examining outcomes, not diffs
- rich artifacts like rich traces, network logs capture in isolated environment enable effective iteration

@charl_dot_dev It definitely feels like mana especially when you hit your limits.

E2E tests break for two reasons: the product broke, or the test went stale.

Most frameworks can't tell the difference. So teams either burn hours triaging or start skipping tests.

We built @ShiplightAI to tell the difference. It's open to everyone today.

@chriszeuch Feel for you.

This is the best part about being a QA Engineer

It does not matter how the product gets built. Quality Assurance process and discipline will still be required

Even when that QA process and discipline evolves, we will still be required

It’s extremely exciting

[Chris Tate @ctatedev]

Same is true for testing

Give agents a way to verify their work

And also test it yourself

AI writes tests that pass for the wrong reasons.

Issue 17 of AI in QA covers the shift from framework debates to agent-driven testing. Apple's Safari MCP server, CLAUDE.md guides for test suites, and 14 more.
