Hey folks, I've been diving into software testing and wanna hear what y'all think about using AI for it. Anyone got experience or tips on good tools that actually help speed up testing or catch bugs better? Would love some real talk on what works and what’s just hype.

I find that AI-based test tools work best when combined with manual exploratory testing, not instead of it.
We started using Mabl for automated testing and the AI features help with test stability and reporting.
The AI-powered scriptless testing platforms are interesting, makes testing more accessible for non-devs.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools. They have a pretty comprehensive list of AI-powered testing platforms and some user reviews too.
Has anyone tried Applitools for visual testing? I heard AI helps detect visual differences better than manual comparisons.
How do you all handle training your teams on these new AI testing tools? It feels like a steep learning curve sometimes.
I like how some AI tools can self-heal tests when UI changes, saves me a bunch of maintenance.
Does anyone find AI testing tools hard to integrate with existing CI/CD pipelines? I’m facing some issues here.
Anyone else worried about data privacy when using cloud-based AI testing tools?
Hey, has anyone tried using AI-based test case generation? Heard it can create tests based on app usage data automatically.
I think the biggest win with AI in testing is speeding up test maintenance and less flaky tests overall.
I tried some open-source AI testing tools but they’re usually less polished than commercial ones.
In my experience, AI testing tools help more in reducing manual regression tests but don’t fully replace human QA yet.
Anyone worried about AI tools falsely passing buggy tests because the AI 'understands' behavior differently?
I usually use Selenium combined with AI plugins to improve test maintenance but it’s kinda rough setup-wise.
I've been using Testim for a couple months and it's pretty neat for automating UI tests with AI. It saves me tons of time on flaky tests.
Would love to hear about any AI tools focused on performance testing rather than functional testing.
AI tools definitely speed up finding UI bugs but backend logic testing still feels manual mostly.
Been exploring AI tools that can analyze user feedback and bug reports to suggest test cases, pretty cool stuff.
