Can an AI Tool Replace SDETs ?

An Answer to a question asked in Testing community Can AI really automate an entire application just by providing its URL? AI-powered testing platforms are becoming incredibly capable. Some promise that you simply provide your application's URL, and they will: ✅ Explore the application ✅ Capture locators automatically ✅ Generate Playwright scripts ✅ Discover APIs ✅ Execute regression tests in the cloud ✅ Produce reports with minimal human effort Sounds amazing... but does that mean Automation Engineers are no longer needed? In this video, I share my thoughts on where AI is genuinely changing software testing and where human expertise still matters. Topics Covered ✔ Can AI automatically generate Playwright tests? ✔ Why Automation Engineering is much more than writing scripts ✔ The importance of business understanding and context ✔ Why deciding what NOT to automate is equally important ✔ Enterprise applications vs demo websites ✔ API automation with AI ✔ Risks of blindly trusting AI-generated test coverage ✔ Will AI reduce jobs or simply change the role of Automation Engineers? Whether you're a Software Tester, QA Engineer, SDET, Automation Engineer, or AI enthusiast, this discussion will help you think beyond the hype. 🎥 Related Videos ▶️ Playwright + AI Agents https://youtu.be/q8PkTyA7lnE ▶️ 13 Reasons Behind Tech Layoffs https://youtu.be/tvHWjosHJhY 💬 Join Our Community 📲 WhatsApp Channel https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb6pKpPElagzl4OTqG2s 👍 If you enjoyed this video ✅ Like the video ✅ Subscribe for AI & Test Automation content ✅ Share your opinion in the comments: Would you trust an AI tool to automate your entire application just by providing its URL? 🌐 Website https://gauravkhurana.com #AI #Playwright #AutomationTesting #SoftwareTesting #QA #TestAutomation #ArtificialIntelligence #SDET #PlaywrightTesting #QualityEngineering #GenerativeAI #AITesting #AutomationEngineer
