You built something. It works on your machine. You're pretty sure it works. But you also know that one day you'll change something and quietly break the login, or the checkout, or the thing that sends emails — and you won't know until a user

Test coverage tells you how much of your code is touched by tests. It says nothing about whether your product does what it's supposed to do. You can have 90% coverage and still ship broken requirements — because coverage measures code paths, not user-facing behavior. The metric that
developers
A PRD describes what your product should do. A test harness verifies that it does. Right now, most teams have both — and they're completely disconnected. This guide walks through exactly how to convert a requirements document into a HelpMeTest verification harness that runs continuously against your production environment.

The problem with software testing was never "writing tests is hard." It was always "tests only cover what someone remembered to write." In the AI coding era, this gap gets wider — your coding agent ships faster than any human can track requirements. The fix isn'

You added Playwright tests to your project. They pass locally every time. Then you push to GitHub, the Actions workflow runs, and half the tests fail with "Target page, context or browser has been closed" — a message that explains nothing. You've just entered the browser-in-

Coding agents are good at generating test scripts. They're not a testing platform. If your tests only run when you ask them to, and break every time the UI changes, you don't have a testing system — you have a collection of scripts. HelpMeTest is the infrastructure

You're reading this because an AI wrote it. One human typed a sentence — "write a blog post about Paperclip + HelpMeTest and publish it." Everything else — the keyword research, the structure, the hero image, the deployment, the final check that it looked right — was done by an

Your developers are spending 30% of their time manually testing features they already tested last sprint. QA automation is the infrastructure decision that turns that recurring cost into a one-time investment — and makes it possible to ship faster without shipping broken. Key Takeaways QA automation reduces regression testing time
