NLP Test Generation: "Write Tests Like You Text Your Mom"

Picture this:
You're sipping coffee, dreading writing test cases. Suddenly, your QA buddy says, "You know you can just tell the AI what to do now, right?"

You're like, "Wait… I can literally write:
👉 Click the login button
👉 Enter email and password
👉 Expect to see dashboard"

And the AI's like, "Say less. I got you."
💥 BOOM. Test script = done.

Welcome to the magical world of Natural Language Processing (NLP) Test Generation, where you talk like a human and your tests are coded like a pro.

🤖 What is NLP Test Generation?

NLP Test Generation lets you describe tests in plain English (or whatever language you think in before caffeine), and the AI converts them into executable test scripts.

So instead of writing:

await page.click('#login-button');

You write:

Click the login button.

And the AI translates it like your polyglot coworker who speaks JavaScript, Python, and sarcasm.


🛠️ Tools That Get It

Here's who's already doing this magic:

  • Testim (by Tricentis) – You describe actions, and it creates the test.

  • Mabl – Friendly UI + NLP = smooth testing experience.

  • Reflect.run – No-code UI testing with natural language prompts.

  • ReTest – Uses AI to infer and generate functional tests.

  • Functionize – Write tests in plain English. It handles the brain work.

  • Katalon TestOps (via TestCloud) – Moving toward NLP + AI-based test creation.

Coming soon: "Siri, test my app." 😎


💡 Why You'll Love It

  • 🧘 Less stress writing code.

  • 🐛 Faster bug-catching.

  • 🤷 Zero "wait, where's that button ID?" moments.

  • 🎯 Great for QA pros and product folks who hate writing tests but love telling people what to do.


😂 Final Thoughts

Using NLP to generate tests is like hiring an intern who doesn't need coffee breaks, never misinterprets your Slack messages, and actually reads the specs.

Seriously, this tech lets you focus more on strategy and less on fighting your test framework.

Next time someone says "write a test," just whisper:
"Click the login button."
and let AI handle the rest.

AI Wrote My Code, I Skipped Testing… Guess What Happened?

AI is a fantastic tool for coding—until it isn't. It promises to save time, automate tasks, and help developers move faster. But if you trust it  too much , you might just end up doing extra work instead of less. How do I know? Because the other day, I did exactly that. The Day AI Made Me File My Own Bug I was working on a personal project, feeling pretty good about my progress, when I asked AI to generate some code. It looked solid—clean, well-structured, and exactly what I needed. So, in a moment of blind optimism, I deployed it  without testing locally first. You can probably guess what happened next. Five minutes later, I was filing my own bug report, debugging like a madman, and fixing issues on a separate branch. After some trial and error (and a few choice words), I finally did what I should have done in the first place:  tested the code locally first.  Only after confirming it actually worked did I roll out the fix. Sound familiar? If you've ever used AI-gene...

Building My Own AI Workout Chatbot: Because Who Needs a Personal Trainer Anyway?

The idea for this project started with a simple question: How can I create a personal workout AI that won't judge me for skipping leg day? I wanted something that could recommend workouts based on my mood, the time of day, the season, and even the weather in my region. This wasn't just about fitness—it was an opportunity to explore AI, practice web app engineering, and keep myself entertained while avoiding real exercise. Technologies and Tools Used To bring this chatbot to life, I used a combination of modern technologies and services (no, not magic, though it sometimes felt that way): Frontend: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the user interface and chatbot interaction (because making it look cool is half the battle). Backend: Python (Flask) to handle requests and AI-powered workout recommendations (it's like a fitness guru, minus the six-pack). Weather API: Integrated a real-world weather API to tailor recommendations based on live conditions (because nobody...

Smart Automation: The Art of Being Lazy (Efficiently)

They say automation saves time, but have you ever spent three days fixing a broken test that was supposed to save you five minutes? That's like buying a self-cleaning litter box and still having to scoop because the cat refuses to use it. Automation in software testing is like ordering takeout instead of cooking—you do it to save time, but if you overdo it, you'll end up with a fridge full of soggy leftovers. Many teams think the goal is to automate everything, but that's like trying to train a Roomba to babysit your kids—ambitious, but doomed to fail. Instead, let's talk about smart automation, where we focus on high-value tests that provide fast, reliable feedback, like a well-trained barista who gets your coffee order right every single time. Why Automating Everything Will Drive You (and Your Team) Insane The dream of automating everything is great until reality slaps you in the face. Here's why it's a terrible idea: Maintenance Overhead: The more ...
