About AI QA Playground

AI QA Playground is a free, open source test automation practice project built around a real AI chatbot application.

Unlike todo lists and login forms, this project gives you something worth testing — streaming responses, rate limiting, input validation, error handling, and a real OpenAI-powered backend. It's designed to help QA engineers build a test automation portfolio with realistic, production-style scenarios.

For QA Engineers

Practice test automation and AI testing against a real system — not a simplified demo.

• ✓UI automation with Playwright
• ✓API testing with Pytest
• ✓Handling async and streaming behavior
• ✓AI testing scenarios: response validation, prompt boundary testing, rate limit handling
• ✓Running tests in CI/CD with GitHub Actions

Run it locally with your own OpenAI key — full control, no restrictions, no cost. A solid addition to any test automation portfolio.

Building AI-Powered Applications

This project is also a working example of building an AI-powered application end-to-end — from requirements and architecture to deployment.

Everything was built with Claude Code: backend API, frontend UI, test suite, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment config. It demonstrates how QA engineers and developers can use AI agents to ship and test full-stack products faster.
