GitHub Copilot Can Now Categorize Bugs, Automatically!!😱

GitHub Copilot Can Now Categorize Bugs, Automatically!!😱

Welcome to the 249th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!🙌

Tired of categorizing bugs manually? That’s about to change. GitHub Copilot can now turn screenshots into bug reports, auto-label issues, and even draft your pull requests. It’s not just a coding assistant anymore; it’s acting like a real teammate. 😱

But that’s just where things get interesting. In this edition, we dig into why MVPs so often flop (hint: you're probably building too much), and get the biggest AI drops from Google I/O and Microsoft Build, some of which feel straight out of the future.

Also, Boohoo scaled test coverage 9X and cut QA costs by 67%. How’d they do it?🤨 A smart move to LambdaTest's GenAI platform made all the difference.🔮

And there’s more: Clean up your Cucumber suite with smarter patterns, and see why macOS is winning over full-stack testers.

Let’s get into it 👇
