What if exploratory testing could run on its own? 🤔
That’s exactly what our CTO Michael Bodnarchuk (
@davert ) explored while building Explorbot — an open-source AI-powered testing agent that navigates web apps like a real user.
Instead of following rigid predefined scripts, Explorbot:
▫️ Reads the UI and discovers flows on its own
▫️ Tests CRUD actions, filters, forms, and edge cases
▫️ Tries unexpected inputs, SQL/JS injections, weird characters, and hidden paths
▫️ Converts successful flows into real Playwright or CodeceptJS tests
One of the most interesting parts?
Explorbot generates around 30–50 meaningful tests per hour while running continuously in parallel sessions 🚀
And it’s not about replacing QA engineers or regression suites. It helps cover the areas teams usually don’t have time to revisit:
✔️ New features
✔️ Low-coverage areas
✔️ Forgotten admin pages
✔️ Edge-case behaviour
Even better — the project is completely free and open source, so teams can run it locally, in CI, or on their own infrastructure.
Really exciting direction for automated exploratory testing 👀
