I asked AI to generate a regression suite.

It understood the assignment.

Maybe a little too well.

It generated:

✅ 427 login tests

✅ 189 password reset tests

✅ 96 variations of "user clicks the button"

And...

One payment test.

Apparently, losing millions is less important than making sure the Login button works on a Tuesday.

😂

This is the part of AI-generated testing that doesn't get enough attention.

AI is fantastic at generating tests.

It doesn't automatically understand risk.

It doesn't know:

  • which feature makes your company money

  • which workflow customers use the most

  • which bug will wake up your CTO at 2 AM

  • which release would make LinkedIn explode with angry posts

That's still our job.

The future of Quality Engineering isn't spending all day writing test scripts.

It's reviewing, prioritizing, and teaching AI what actually matters.

I'll happily let AI generate 1,000 tests.

But before I merge them, I'm asking one question:

"Which of these would I be sad to delete?"

If the answer is "almost none"...

I don't have a testing problem.

I have a quality problem.

What's the funniest or strangest AI-generated test you've seen so far?
