The rider behind the gear

Mr. Hofler. Ten years of QA, shipped to production.

Senior AI-Augmented Test Engineer. A decade of QA automation across fintech and enterprise teams, including Everly Health, Infosys, ADP, Dominion Enterprises (Homes.com), and Credit Karma (Intuit). Builder of QA Smith AI, a CLI tool that generates production-ready Cypress and Playwright frameworks from acceptance criteria.

AI hit QA like a wild horse, powerful but green, and most testers got handed the reins with zero training. I built this site to change that. Every guide, episode, and tool here comes from real work on real teams. If it's on this site, I've ridden it myself.
