What do parties have in common with software QA?
A humorous comparison between party planning and software QA shows how kiteto simplifies QA processes with AI-supported test automation and flexibly finds new test paths in the event of changes.
Between polonaise and post mortem
Anyone who has ever planned a party knows that it can be a complete success or a total flop. And anyone who has ever been responsible for a software test cycle knows exactly the same feeling. In both cases, preparation is crucial, the people involved shape the dynamics, and if something goes wrong, the only thing that helps is improvisation. And then? A hangover.
The fact is: that traditional test processes often cause more headaches than clarity. Test scripts become outdated, test data is missing and requirements change, but nobody adapts the test cases. Deadlines are approaching while regressions slip through the cracks - and the bugs are happily celebrating. Welcome to the QA hangover.
The good news: kiteto is the hangover medicine for software testing. Instead of struggling with time-consuming, error-prone manual work, kiteto generates robust UI and API test cases fully automatically - directly from free text requirements. It ensures traceability, reduces maintenance effort through self-healing and prevents test gaps. You don’t need test automation expertise - just clean requirements.
1. good planning is everything: whether it’s a test strategy or table arrangements
Whether you are organising a party or accompanying an agile development project: without planning, things get stressful. The party lacks a location, drinks or guests. QA lacks test data, acceptance criteria or clearly defined responsibilities.
Typical pain points in test management:
- No systematic derivation of test cases from requirements
- High manual effort for test case creation and maintenance
- Lack of traceability between requirements, test cases and defects
- Difficulties in scaling automated tests
kiteto creates overview, structure and speed:
- Creates directly executable automation code for UI tests
- Links requirements, test cases and test results with clear traceability
QA feels predictable again: Like a party with a checklist, schedule and catering. No hectic, no to-do lists everywhere - just a structured, comprehensible test structure.
2. the right people at the table: stakeholder participation as a success factor
A good party stands and falls with the guests. In a test project, the same applies to stakeholders: Business, Development and QA - everyone should be involved.
Typical pain point: Specialist departments and product owners deliver requirements but cannot judge whether they are testable. Developers focus on implementation, QA struggles with validation alone. Communication breakdowns lead to test gaps.
With kiteto you overcome these silos:
- Test cases are formulated in everyday language and automatically translated into test code
- Requirements can be checked for testability at an early stage
- Departments, testers and devs speak the same language - requirements in natural language
- Anyone can give feedback without detailed technical knowledge
It’s like a party where the DJ, guests and hosts curate the playlist together - everyone contributes, everyone benefits.
3. the mood counts: Actively shaping QA culture
No good party without good vibes. In test projects, this means: a positive error culture, clear communication and useful tools.
Pain point: Overloaded test cases, outdated test data, fear of errors and endless meetings slow teams down. Test automation is perceived as additional work rather than an enabler.
kiteto creates relief and clarity:
- Automates the creation of test cases and their maintenance
- Supports test data management through context from requirements
- Reacts to changes in code or requirements with self-healing logic
- Reduces the feeling of ‘test debt’ in the team
The result? A QA culture that is not perceived as a blocker, but as a driver for quality. This turns QA into a genuine part of the agile mindset - proactive, iterative, collaborative.
4. if something goes wrong: react quickly instead of freaking out
The DJ has overslept. The lights go out. The app crashes during live operation. Welcome to the error case - aka worst case QA.
It becomes problematic when:
- Tests fail after software changes
- QA does not know which tests need to be adapted
- Regression tests are unreliable or unmaintainable
kiteto offers a pragmatic approach to changes:
- Enables fast test regeneration from existing test case descriptions
- Tests can be regenerated with the same text description when changes are made to the UI or code
- Reduces manual customisation effort through text-based test definition
- Saves valuable time in the incident response process
It’s like a DJ who switches to a battery box when the power goes out before anyone notices - and the dance floor stays full.
5. after the party: evaluate, learn, get better
The morning after: Check photos, collect feedback, reflect. In the QA context: retrospective. Quality is not created through one-off testing - but through continuous learning.
What is often missing:
- Overview of test coverage, stability and error distribution
- Metrics to systematically recognise potential for improvement
- Automated feedback loops to the requirements engineering or dev team
kiteto provides you with exactly that:
- Generates reports on coverage, test stability and need for change
- Reveals blind spots in the test architecture
- Supports continuous improvement and test strategy optimisation
The result: A team that tests smarter. And a QA that contributes strategically - instead of just counting bugs.
6. kiteto: The smart cat medicine for modern QA
kiteto works against typical QA symptoms such as:
- ‘Test automation takes too long’
- ‘We don’t know what to test’
- ‘Our tests are constantly broken’
- ‘Nobody has capacity for manual testing’
With kiteto you get:
- Automated generation of test code from free text requests
- Self-healing for tests in case of code/UI changes
- Clear traceability between requirements, tests and test results
kiteto reduces manual effort, increases test quality and gets teams back into the flow - before a hangover can even develop.
Conclusion: QA should feel good
Whether it’s a wedding, birthday or system integration: good preparation, clear communication and the right tools make all the difference.
With kiteto, QA becomes part of the development fun again - plannable, scalable, comprehensible. No toxic after-effects, no headaches. Just a tool that works exactly when you need it most.
Because in the end: Test processes that feel like celebrations - that’s modern QA with kiteto.
