Introduction

This section compares common QA approaches (and the tools that enable them) with TestChimp’s approach across key workflow steps: test planning, functional automation, exploratory UX testing, and requirement/UX traceability.

Questions this section answers​

  • What’s the difference between test planning in an issue tracker vs test planning as code?
  • Do “pure agentic tests” replace Playwright scripts? What do you lose?
  • How do SmartTests combine script determinism with agentic flexibility?
  • Can exploratory agents replace manual testing? For which bug classes?
  • Why do “give us a URL and we’ll explore” agents break down in real apps?
  • What does “requirement traceability” look like when it’s in-code instead of stitched across tools?
