What if understanding your codebase was no longer a blocker for great testing? Most testers were trained to work around the code — clicking through UIs, guessing selectors, and relying on outdated docs or developer explanations. In this episode, Playwright expert Ben Fellows flip that model on its head. Using AI tools like Cursor, testers can now explore the codebase directly — asking questions, uncovering APIs, understanding data relationships, and spotting risk before a single test is written. This isn't about becoming a developer. It's about using AI to finally see how the system really works — and using that insight to test smarter, earlier, and with far more confidence. If you've ever joined a new team, inherited a legacy app, or struggled to understand what really changed in a release, this episode is for you.
