A company brought on 25 QA testers and still landed at 56 percent test coverage. On this episode, Armando J. Perez-Carreno sits down with Pramin Pradeep, the founder of BotGauge, to unpack why adding more people to quality assurance stopped working.
Pramin came up through test automation as a founding product manager at a startup that grew from zero to 3 million before it was acquired. He now builds AI agents that run end-to-end testing, backed by a forward-deployed engineer model that keeps humans in the loop. He and Armando talk through the checkout bugs that quietly cost big brands sales, and the real math behind hiring more testers versus better tooling. Pramin even shares why he sometimes tells prospects they donβt need his product at all. If you build software or run a growing business, this one shows what modern QA can look like when agents do the heavy lifting.
