Sprint planning isn’t just assigning work — it’s trying to stop everything from breaking before it starts. If you’ve ever moved from QA to PM, you already know how heavy that can feel.
You don’t need to be a certified automation engineer to write useful Playwright tests. I started with local scripts, flaky results, and real QA problems. Here’s how I made automation work without overengineering it—and why manual QA still wins in 2025.
AI can boost manual testing, but only when used as a thinking assistant—not a crutch. Here’s how real QA teams are using AI to write test cases, simulate bugs, and uncover edge cases faster.
Debugging is a key skill for QA professionals, and it’s more than just finding bugs. It’s about identifying root causes, preventing future issues, and collaborating effectively with developers. Learn why manual testing with AI assistance leads to better results and how it complements automation in finding edge cases and complex bugs.
Even if you’re a manual tester, knowing just enough Bash and Node.js can change your workflow. Skip the bloat. Learn how to automate tasks and debug faster.
Use Playwright to automate your QA workflow across real-world test cases—without needing CI/CD. We cover everything from form validation to iframe handling, and it’s all open-source via our repo and test sandbox.
Cypress automation testing isn’t just about running tests—it’s about building resilient, scalable test suites that integrate seamlessly with modern web applications. In this guide, we dive deep into real-world testing scenarios, including form validation, network delay handling, shadow DOM, iframe interactions, broken link detection, and accessibility testing. You’ll also get access to a live QA testing playground and a GitHub repo with Cypress scripts ready to use.
Selenium is still one of the best ways for QA testers to start automation—no CI/CD required. This hands-on guide uses playground.qajourney.net for real testing, with Selenium IDE, WebDriver, XPath, JS, and advanced techniques to help you transition from manual to automation with confidence.
Automation testing is powerful, but is it always the best choice? As a former automation engineer and now a QA Lead, I still find manual testing faster and more effective in many cases. This article breaks down why manual testing is NOT dead and why a balanced approach with automation and AI is the future of QA.
QA testing isn’t just about clicking buttons—it’s about ensuring performance, security, and functionality. This guide explores the essential QA tools that every tester should use, from Selenium for automation to Burp Suite for security testing.
