Job Description

Hej Master thesis student,

Do you want to furnish the future to make room for everyone?

Quality assurance is evolving rapidly with the introduction of AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). Today, most automated tests still require humans to define test scenarios, write test cases, and maintain test suites. But what if AI could explore applications independently, generate meaningful test cases, and identify quality risks on its own?

In this thesis, you will investigate how AI can enhance software testing by autonomously discovering test scenarios or generating test cases directly from requirements.

Your new assignment

You will explore how LLMs can be used to automate and improve software testing through one of two research tracks:

  • Autonomous test agents that explore web applications, identify user flows, and generate Playwright test cases based on observed behavior.
  • AI-driven test generation that transforms user stories and acceptance criteria into executable Playwright tests.

The thesis may include:

  • Designing and developing an AI-powered testing framework or prototype
  • Evaluating the use of LLMs for test creation and validation
  • Investigating challenges such as hallucinations, assertion quality, and test coverage
  • Exploring how browser context, DOM structures, or API specifications can improve generated tests
  • Measuring the effectiveness of AI-generated tests against manually created alternatives

The deliverables are:

  • A prototype framework for AI-assisted test generation or autonomous testing
  • An evaluation of test quality, coverage, and defect detection capabilities
  • Recommendations for applying AI in quality assurance and software testing
  • An end report written in English

What we'd like you to bring to the table

We think that you:

  • Are currently pursuing a Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related field
  • Have an interest in software quality, test automation, and AI-powered development tools
  • Are curious about Large Language Models and emerging software engineering practices
  • Enjoy experimenting, building prototypes, and evaluating their effectiveness
  • Are fluent in English
  • Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, Playwright, web applications, or AI/ML is considered a plus.
