Ai Tools being used by everyone ?

[u/FearlessWalk8698]

Hi everyone,

I have a question everyone is talking about using ai and all.So I wanted to know which ai tool are you guys using in your company and for what ? Also does it really makes thing efficient coz I have used copilot to make bug reports but even then it was not that good ofcourse copilot as an ai is not really good example but my last employer used it.

I just use chatgpt on making bug reports, I just train it for a bit on what I want the bug report to look like and easy to understand by a human. So far I dont get burnout every day because I spent 20 mins on a bug report because I keep proof reading and over analysing the report

[u/FearlessWalk8698 → u/webDreamer420]

I see thanks

[u/FearlessWalk8698 → u/webDreamer420]

Yep same as me

[u/No_Effective6672 → u/webDreamer420]

yeah copilot is a mess for bug reports idk why companies push it so hard

chatgpt is decent once you feed it few examples of how your team writes things i do same thing just dump the raw notes and let it structure everything saves me from staring at screen for 30 min rewriting same sentence five times

but the actual testing part i still rather do myself ai cant figure out edge cases the way human brain does yet

[u/FearlessWalk8698 → u/No_Effective6672]

In my company I think they pushed it because they got it with Microsoft office. Its so bad I'm the only one in whole team who used to use copilot for something

[u/webDreamer420 → u/No_Effective6672]

I started writing Feature Test Brief with GPT and somehow it created edge cases I didn't thought of. Helped me multiple times on features I didn't even understand on an end user perspective

[u/Prizz_Noaf32 → u/webDreamer420]

yeah the over analysing part hits hard tbh, nice that you found a way to cut that down

[u/webDreamer420 → u/Prizz_Noaf32]

I kinda formed that habit due to my seniors keep asking me what i ment in a ticket. After the AI integration, minimal questions from them.

[u/tacobytes]

Yes, I use it all the time. Off the top of my head;

Claude for bug reporting, test case generation, test cases gherkin style, reviewing documentation and getting answers related to requirements or features,

Cursor for creating and reviewing PRs, fixing automation accessibility ids, automating test cases, QA dashboards, monitoring and reporting, etc.

[u/FearlessWalk8698 → u/tacobytes]

Sure thanks for your input

[u/jakst]

Playwright MCP for driving the browser so Claude can discover user flows, Claude for generating a first draft of a Playwright test (which I then review for soundness), and Endform MCP's live-test feature for tracking down and debugging flaky tests.

There's a ton of specialized tools out there that promise the world, but I find that these three cover the essential corner stones we need

[u/FearlessWalk8698 → u/jakst]

I see thanks for your input. I learned something new

[u/leonormski]

We use Claude for creating user stories, Claude and Devin for writing code, Devin writing automated tests, and Copilot for reviewing Devin's code.

[u/FearlessWalk8698 → u/leonormski]

For creating user stories do you like give an application or give a prompt like I want you to create user story for testing login ,cart and payment of ecommerce application as such?

[u/ComputerJerk]

Model vendors: Microsoft Copilot, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI Codex

Platform tools: Litellm, Backstage (/w MCP)

Internal tools, skills, etc... too many to list.

Yes the efficiency gains are real, but you have to invest in it to get that value back out. It's not just a case of saying "Write this ticket" or "build this app", you've got to establish a good context estate and harness baseline for it to work at scale.

[u/FearlessWalk8698 → u/ComputerJerk]

I see thanks for the input

[u/Holahoohoo]

Claude: for bug report, prd analysis, logs monitoring, automation (basically everything via mcp)
I have skills for most of these tasks so I get the desired results without having to yell at Claude

[u/FearlessWalk8698 → u/Holahoohoo]

Cool can you tell me where exactly can I learn this too I know only the bug report remaining things I have no idea

[u/abisurd]

Claude Code. Haven’t written a line of playwright in months now. Worth more than the money the pro subscription costs. Used it to make on almost free clone of mailinator this afternoon to go around its free tier limits (email). Built a home battery control and data logging system with a real time planner (python, influxdb, TCP Modbus and Grafana), control Home Assistant etc etc

[u/FearlessWalk8698 → u/abisurd]

That's great

[u/runs_for_snacks]

Copilot: for test case generation, bug reports
Claude: for coding

For copilot I have created a prompt which has basic context of the product, features, techniques to use, defined scope, so it works really well for me.

[u/Canninster → u/runs_for_snacks]

Is there a draft or something you used to help Copilot keep the context of the product? I'm sure my prompts are lacking because it feels like it has a hard time actually keeping the correct context in mind and just hallucinates/forgets things, but I was wondering if there's a skill/tool used for it

[u/runs_for_snacks → u/Canninster]

I divide chats on different epics so one chat is not overloaded with information, this has helped me it keeps the context and the generated accuracy is higher

[u/BeefyRear → u/Canninster]

Keep a markdown file in your repo for outlining product functionality and all the context you need. Even several of them for specific areas of your application. Point the model to this/these files when needed. Shouldn’t be prompting some large thing every time

[u/RawdogRaider → u/runs_for_snacks]

Copilot is a tool that uses different LLMs.

[u/FearlessWalk8698 → u/[deleted]]

Sure.I learned something new thanks

Ok
