🧠💬 Prompt is the new script — in test automation too. Lately, I’ve been working on ways to simplify and scale test automation using natural language. And it’s been eye-opening. We’re moving from: -- Test scripts to test intent -- Manual steps to guided prompts -- Rigid frameworks to flexible, intelligent flows It’s not just about replacing code—it’s about making quality more accessible, faster, and smarter for everyone on the team. Prompt literacy is becoming a core skill in modern QA. And I’m excited to see where it takes us next #TestAutomation #PromptEngineering #AI #DevOps #QualityEngineering #DigitalTransformation
Absolutely right — prompt engineering is indeed the new-age skill, especially with how fast AI is evolving in the testing landscape. Tools like Cursor AI have completely transformed how we approach automation. In just 5 minutes, we can generate test cases covering everything — functional, performance, edge cases, out-of-the-box scenarios — all aligned with the acceptance criteria and in the required format. When it comes to coding, AI can now solve problems and generate accurate, production-ready code in under a minute. The role of an automation tester is shifting from being a pure coder to becoming more of a reviewer and strategist — reviewing the AI-generated code, prompting refinements to suit specific needs, and integrating it seamlessly. It's all about guiding the AI with the right inputs and validating the outputs.
I agree 💯
This shift feels revolutionary. Making testing more intuitive and inclusive can truly transform how teams approach quality. Prompt-first automation could bridge the gap between testers and tech. How soon do you think this will become mainstream in QA teams? Saket Kumar
Great perspective
You're right, Saket. I'm experiencing the same while testing a data migration pipeline — AI is enhancing my test automation, improving brainstorming, and helping me go both in depth and breadth.

1moLove this shift toward prompts...it feels like we're finally bridging tech and everyday language. Curioushow do you handle edge cases where intent isn’t clear? 🤔 #QA #AI
