Today, testers report bugs — and wait for developers to fix them.

In our Lighthouse project, we’re exploring a future where testers no longer wait, but act: using agentic AI to analyze, generate, and apply bugfixes directly within the team’s development workflow.

This talk shares how we integrated tools like GitLab Duo, GitHub Copilot, and Telecontext (Deutsche Telekom’s MCP server) into our agile process so that testers can collaborate with AI instead of starting the traditional ticket cycle. You’ll learn how this changes roles, handovers, and team dynamics — and what happens when AI takes responsibility for real code changes.

At Swiss Testing Day, I will share openly whether this Lighthouse project was a success or not — including what worked well, what didn’t, and how we plan to adapt our approach in the future.
