Gil Zilberfeld of TestinGil,  trainer and consultant on unit testing, TDD, clean code and API testing,  joins David to unpack what actually makes quality build into software from day one. We cover getting TDD into a ten-year-old codebase that actively resists it, why refactoring is the step everyone quietly drops, what an "80% coverage" target really buys you, and why APIs deserve far more respect than "send a request, check the status code". 

Then AI: why Gil can't get his coding agent to honour the red step without external scripts and git checks, what self-healing tests really are underneath the magic, and the new ground testers now have to cover — prompt injection, history poisoning, performance, and the token bill.

In this episode of BrowserStack Talks, host David Burns sits down with Sanjay Kumar, creator of SelectorsHub and TestCase Studio and founder of the SelectorsHub community, to turn testing pain points into playbooks.


Sanjay's tools are used by testers around the world every day to save time and cut frustration. We dig into what actually makes element locators fragile, how modern web complexity, Shadow DOMs, nested iframes, and dynamic elements, breaks scripts, and why a clean locator strategy upfront is the difference between scaling your tests and scaling your failures.


In this conversation:

- The "aha" moment behind SelectorsHub and why beginners had no smart editor for XPath and selectors

- Why SelectorsHub generates from the nearest stable element instead of from the top of the DOM

- Handling Shadow DOM and iframes that used to cost testers hours of wasted debugging

- How TestCase Studio turns recorded actions into plain-English steps — bridging manual testers, analysts, and automation engineers

- Self-healing locators and AI hype vs. the discipline of getting the selector right the first time, and why determinism matters

- One-click tools for exploratory checks, accessibility, screenshots with URLs, and broken-link scanning

- Why development was never the real bottleneck — adoption, maintenance, and human judgment are

- A quick-fire round on frameworks, entrepreneurship, and why the world still needs human ingenuity in an AI-driven era


Whether you're a seasoned automation architect or a manual tester moving into low-code automation, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.

In this episode of BrowserStack Talks, the podcast that turns testing pain points into playbooks, host David Burns sits down with Filip Hric to unpack the philosophy reshaping how we think about quality.

Filip has worn just about every hat in the industry — tester, QA lead, test automation engineer, front-end developer, and now Developer Relations Engineer at Qodo, where he works on AI code quality and governance. Together they get into why stepping into the developer's world makes you a sharper tester, how AI has become a genuine learning tool rather than a crutch, why test "flakiness" is really a knowledge gap in disguise, and what quality looks like in an AI-driven, high-velocity world.

Along the way: where to start bridging the dev/test divide (hint — API testing and building your own app), the trouble with chasing code coverage, why component testing quietly won, and a rapid-fire quick-fire round to close things out.

Whether you're a tester curious about code, a developer who's allergic to writing tests, or a lead trying to make sense of AI in your pipeline, there's something here for you.

In this episode of BrowserStack Talks, host David Burns sits down with Brittany Stewart—Senior QA Specialist, AI Lead at QualityWorks, and BrowserStack "Icon of Quality"—to explore the fascinating intersection of creativity, human intuition, and artificial intelligence in modern software testing.

Brittany shares her unique journey from graphic and interior design into tech, breaking down how a "design eye" elevates user experience testing. We also cut through the AI hype to discuss the real-world execution of Managed AI Test Squads, how AI drops 15-minute tasks down to under 5 minutes, and why human testers are more vital than ever in the age of automation.

Listen now to learn:

  • 🧠 How to apply a "design mindset" and mind-mapping to conquer complex test plans.
  • 🤖 The practical realities of using AI as a collaborative testing partner, not a replacement.
  • 📈 Real-world efficiency gains from AI-driven test case generation.
  • 💡 Navigating the "messy parts" of QA, onboarding mid-stream, and building testing communities.
