Break It Faster — Software Testing Guide PDF with AI: Manual, API & Playwright Automation (59 Prompts)

Find more bugs, faster, with free AI tools and real test design techniques.

AI can write 50 test cases in seconds. Half may test the same thing, and it may miss the one boundary where the bug lives. Break It Faster teaches you to direct AI with proven techniques, automate with confidence and write bug reports developers actually fix.

What's inside (47 pages)

• Test cases in minutes: equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision tables and state transitions, with a real proof that boundaries catch bugs
• Requirements to scenarios: acceptance criteria, Gherkin (BDD), traceability and exploratory testing charters
• API testing: status codes, Postman test scripts and the same tests in pytest
• UI automation with Playwright: role-based locators, Page Object Model, plus Selenium equivalents
• Flaky tests & CI: why fixed sleeps fail, and a GitHub Actions workflow
• Bug reports that get fixed: templates, severity vs priority, "works on my machine" replies
• SQL data checks plus performance, accessibility and security basics
• 3 portfolio projects on legal practice sites, ISTQB CTFL v4.0 prep and a 30-day QA sprint

Example prompt (#13 · Test design)

"Act as a senior QA engineer. Feature: [FEATURE]. Rules: [RULES]. Write test cases using boundary value analysis as a table: ID, title, steps, data, expected result, priority. Then map each rule to its test cases."

Tested, not guessed: tests were run with pytest, Newman and Playwright, and planted bugs were caught on purpose.

Who it's for: QA freshers, manual testers moving into automation, ISTQB Foundation aspirants, and developers who want stronger tests.
