How has testing changed in the era of AI? Carl and Richard talk to Debbie O'Brien about using LLMs to help build and validate tests, drawing on her work at Zephyr Cloud. Debbie talks about using Playwright to validate application workflows and generate documentation. This leads to a discussion about documentation being more important than ever, since LLMs will actually read it! Maintaining quality is a challenge with LLM-generated code and tests, so there's always a role for a critical eye in the process.
Debbie joins Isaac Levin on Coffee and Open Source to chat about her journey in frontend development, working in dev rel, her love for Vue.js and Nuxt.js, and her current focus on end-to-end testing with Playwright.
