Mercury Testing: Running the Mercury 2.5 Diffusion LLM as Explorbot’s Planner

Explorbot is an open-source QA agent for autonomous testing of web applications. You point it at a URL. It reads the page, works out what the application does, proposes test scenarios, and runs them in a real browser. When something breaks, it reports the problem with steps to reproduce, and every verified scenario can become […]

Manual Testing vs Automation Testing: When You Need Both

Your team already runs automated checks in CI and manual checks before each release. The World Quality Report 2025-26 by Capgemini shows a similar balance across the industry: teams automate 33% of their test cases on average, and manual checks cover the rest. So the real manual testing vs automation testing question is different: which […]

Mobile App Testing: Types, Strategy, and Best Practices

Mobile app testing usually starts on an emulator. Your team runs the suite and releases once CI passes. But a crash report arrives from a Galaxy S25 during checkout. It happened on a build that passed everything. According to AppsFlyer’s 2025 app uninstall benchmarks report, the global average 30-day uninstall rate reached 46.1% in 2024. […]

Manual Test Cases in the Agentic Era: The Baseline AI Agents Need

AI agents are changing the economics of software development. Source code can now be generated, refactored, and replaced faster than it can be reviewed. Automated tests are generated as side artifacts of the code production, which raises the question of testing AI-generated code before it reaches production. This acceleration is valuable. But it creates a […]

Usability Testing for Mobile Apps: A Complete Guide

When your team releases a mobile app, the automated test suite passes successfully. Every functional test completes and the release is on schedule. Passing tests proves the app works. Whether anyone can use it is a separate question. You can see the difference only when real users interact with the product. That’s the task of […]

Automated Cross-Browser Testing: Frameworks, Matrix & CI/CD Reporting

Every web product needs two things a browser can break: the layout your users see, and the JavaScript that makes it work. Your team releases features every week, and a rendering fault in Safari can reach a user before anyone on the team opens Safari. Automated cross browser testing finds those faults while the code […]

API Testing Strategy: Best Practices & Framework for CI/CD

Your team releases an API to production every week. You run unit tests and review pull requests. The CI pipeline stays green. Here’s the catch: green checks alone leave a gap between what you test and what you promise your users. A strong API testing strategy closes that gap. In this guide, you’ll learn which […]

Comparing Planning Models for an AI Agent for Test Automation: Qwen, Gemma, MiniMax and Luna

Every AI agent for test automation runs on a model. Your choice of model affects the quality of your tests and the price. If you choose the wrong model, you pay more for worse results. We tested four models in Explorbot’s most important slot. It is the part that plans the tests. In the end, […]

IoT Testing: Types, Tools and Best Practices for QA Teams

Your team tests a connected device the way you test any product. You run functional checks and integration tests. A security pass follows before release. But a connected product lives somewhere your test bench cannot reach. That distance between a device that passes in the lab and one that works in the field is where […]

Vibe Coding: How to Test AI-Generated Code Before It Reaches Production

Vibe coding is the practice of describing what you want in plain language and letting an AI assistant generate the code. Tools like Cursor, Replit, GitHub Copilot, and Google AI Studio brought this coding approach to millions of developers in 2025. It makes building software dramatically faster, but it creates a new problem: how do […]

You opened three SDET job listings, and each one reads like a different role. The first wants Selenium and Java. The second asks for Playwright with TypeScript. The third lists Kubernetes alongside test design and CI pipelines. So what does an SDET actually do, and is this the path you want to grow into? In […]

Multi-Agent AI Testing with Claude Code & Playwright Test Agents

You ship a feature. Someone writes a manual test case in a spreadsheet, and someone else automates it later. The spec drifts from the manual case. The manual case drifts from the product. Nobody knows what’s actually covered. I wanted to fix that entire chain, not by hiring more people, but by rethinking who (or […]
