In this episode of Modern Software, host Mike Verinder sits down with Marcel Veselka, founder of Wopee.io, for an honest and insightful look into the evolving world of autonomous software testing. They dive into Marcel’s journey from PowerPoint prototype to a fully functional AI-driven testing platform that’s reshaping how teams think about visual testing, agents, and LLM-assisted automation.

From the early days of comparing screenshots to the emerging promise of agent-based workflows and context-aware test generation, Marcel shares what works, what doesn't, and why being honest about the gaps in AI testing tools is critical. They also cover:

• What makes visual testing hard—and why most tools fall short
• The limits of today's AI agents (and where they really shine)
• Why Wopee chose not to implement the Model Context Protocol (MCP)...yet
• How testers and non-testers alike can get started with automation in minutes
• The real reason experienced SDETs are still skeptical of AI tools

Whether you're a QA leader, a hands-on tester, or just curious about the future of automation, this is a no-fluff, deeply technical episode worth your time.

🎙️ Bonus: Marcel gives a full demo of Wopee.io in action and shares where you can catch him live across Europe this conference season.
