Agentic Engineering for Testers: How to Automate Your Way to the Top with Amit Rawat

Amit Rawat is an agentic engineer who spent two decades in QA before shifting fully into building AI agents. He's the creator of PromptWright, a desktop tool that turns natural language prompts into automated Playwright browser tests, complete with screen recording, Gherkin scenario generation, and self-healing locators.

In this episode, Amit and Joe get into what it actually takes to work with AI agents at a high level, starting with why the planning phase matters more than the prompt itself. Amit breaks down his own workflow, brainstorming with AI, building a detailed plan in HTML before ever executing, and why curiosity and technical depth still matter even as AI gets more capable.

They also cover why Amit believes QA professionals, more than developers or DevOps engineers, are best positioned to thrive in the agentic era, how he tracks the ROI on his $200-a-month Claude subscription, the "Chief of Staff," "Chief Health Officer," and "Chief Financial Officer" AI agents he's built to help manage different aspects of his personal life, and how he uses a memory layer so those agents understand his preferences and become more useful over time.

If you're a tester, automation engineer, or QA leader trying to figure out where AI agents fit into your workflow and your career, this conversation is a practical look at what's already working today.
