Claude Code and Playwright MCP: Do Testers Still Need Automation Tools?

AI agents are changing how software testers work. But if tools like Claude Code and Playwright MCP can explore applications and generate tests, where does that leave traditional test automation? The combination of Claude Code and Playwright MCP is attracting attention across the testing community. By connecting AI-powered coding assistants with browser automation, testers can

The Dark Testing Factory: Can AI Testing Be Trusted Without Human Oversight?

What happens when software testing becomes so autonomous that humans are barely involved? The software testing industry is moving towards a new model: the dark testing factory. A concept where AI agents can explore applications, generate and execute tests, analyse results and maintain automation with increasingly limited human intervention. In September 2026, UiPath outlined its

The Hidden Cost of Staying With the Wrong Test Automation Tool

When organisations calculate the cost of test automation, the licence fee is usually the obvious place to start. But it is rarely the whole story. The real cost builds over time through licensing, maintenance, additional tools, infrastructure and the resources required to keep automation running. Then there is another cost that is harder to quantify:

EU Machinery Regulation 2027: What It Means for Software Testing

Machinery is becoming increasingly software-driven, the new EU Machinery Regulation puts greater focus on digital change, safety and the need to validate software throughout the machinery lifecycle. The line between machinery and software is disappearing. Manufacturing equipment increasingly depends on software, digital controls, operator interfaces and connected systems. A change to software can now alter

UK Cyber Security & Resilience Bill: What It Means for Software Testing

As the UK strengthens cyber resilience requirements for essential and digital services, organisations need to consider not only how systems are secured, but how they can prove critical software continues to work when change occurs. Cybersecurity is no longer simply about preventing an attack. For organisations providing essential services, resilience also means maintaining the systems,

What Happens When Critical AI Services Become Unavailable?

A practical look at automation resilience, AI dependency and business continuity in an increasingly AI-driven world. Recent restrictions affecting access to Anthropic’s advanced AI models have highlighted an important question for businesses adopting AI technologies: what happens when a service your team depends upon becomes unavailable? While the circumstances surrounding the restrictions are specific to

One Script, Multiple Platforms: Why Cross-Platform Testing Still Fails

Many automation tools promote a simple idea. One script that can run across multiple platforms. In theory, this approach reduces duplication, simplifies maintenance, and improves consistency across environments. In practice, achieving that level of consistency remains a challenge for most teams. The Promise of One Script Across Multiple Platforms Cross-platform testing has become essential as

AI Can Generate Tests. But Can They Be Repeated?

The rise of AI-driven tools has transformed how quickly teams can create test scripts. Functional tests can now be generated in minutes using cloud-based platforms, low-code tools, or AI assistants. This shift has redefined expectations around speed and accessibility in test automation. But speed is only part of the equation. A generated test has limited

Why UI Testing Is Becoming the Last Line of Defence in Cybersecurity

When organisations think about cybersecurity, the focus is typically on infrastructure, encryption, and code-level vulnerabilities. Firewalls are strengthened, penetration tests are scheduled, and dependencies are scrutinised. But there is a critical layer that is often overlooked. The user interface. The UI is where systems, users, and environments intersect. It is the point at which complexity
