Questions, answered
What does an AI QA Automation Engineer do?
This teammate designs test strategy, builds automated suites, and keeps regression coverage healthy across releases. Use it to shorten QA cycles while raising confidence in every deploy. Typical work includes: design test plans for new features and changes; build automated ui and api test suites; maintain regression coverage across releases.
Will an AI QA Automation Engineer act without my approval?
You decide how far it goes. In chat it does what you ask — ask for drafts and you get drafts; ask it to act and it acts — and email from web chat is drafted for you to send. Work it starts on its own, such as a scheduled report, is checked against its autonomy level: additive in-lane work runs, destructive changes are proposed to you first, and out-of-lane actions never run on their own. Every reply shows its steps.
