That part of quality engineering is something I genuinely enjoy, and it inspired me to build **PassionQA**.\n\nPassionQA is an AI-powered quality intelligence platform that turns product requirements into practical QA insights and executable test cases.\n\nThe workflow is simple:\n\nMy goal was to reduce the repetitive part of requirement analysis so testers can spend more time thinking critically about product risk and quality.\n\n**Live app:** [https://passion-qa.vercel.app](https://passion-qa.vercel.app)\n\nFor my demo, I used an insurance Policy BRD. PassionQA analyzed the requirements, highlighted quality gaps, and generated executable positive, negative, boundary, security, and accessibility test scenarios across the policy workflow.\n\nThe demo shows the complete flow from Policy BRD upload to AI analysis, test-case generation, risk insights, RTM, and report export.\n\n**Demo video:** [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sAoOauTGCk66xAzY46zF8_lWBQbVM8Gr/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sAoOauTGCk66xAzY46zF8_lWBQbVM8Gr/view?usp=sharing)\n\n**GitHub repository:** [https://github.com/DhanashriQAEngineer/PassionQA/](https://github.com/DhanashriQAEngineer/PassionQA/)\n\nSome of the key parts of the project are:\n\n`src/lib/gemini.ts`\n\n--- Gemini analysis and local fallback engine`src/app/api/analyze-requirement/route.ts`\n\n--- server-side analysis\nAPI`src/app/dashboard/page.tsx`\n\n--- QA intelligence dashboard`src/lib/excelExport.ts`\n\n--- multi-sheet Excel export`scripts/record-demo.mjs`\n\n--- Playwright demo recorderI didn't want to create another chatbot that simply summarizes a\n\ndocument.\n\nIn QA, a summary is not enough.\n\nWe need to know what is missing, which requirements are unclear, what business rules could fail, and whether our test coverage is strong enough.\n\nThat is why I designed PassionQA more like a **QA workspace or tester's cockpit**. The dashboard focuses on test coverage, requirement health, risk, traceability, and executable test scenarios.\n\nGoogle Gemini is used as the AI analysis engine.\n\nThe BRD content is sent through a server-side API route with a QA-focused prompt. Gemini analyzes the requirements and returns structured information including product domain and modules, requirement quality metrics, missing or unclear business rules, executable test cases, risk areas, RTM data, and QA recommendations.\n\nOne important decision was to keep the Gemini API key on the server instead of exposing it in the browser.\n\nThe application also tracks whether the result was generated using **Gemini** or the **local analysis engine**, so the UI clearly shows the actual analysis source.\n\nPassionQA supports two analysis modes:\n\nThe **Explore Demo Preset** follows the same analysis flow. If Gemini is configured and available, Gemini performs the analysis. If the request fails or Gemini is unavailable, PassionQA automatically uses the local analysis engine.\n\nThe local mode still generates a complete QA dashboard, which keeps the application usable and makes the demo reliable.\n\nI built PassionQA using **Next.js App Router, React, TypeScript,\nTailwind CSS, Google Gemini, Recharts, Framer Motion, xlsx-js-style, jsPDF, and Playwright**.\n\nThe most important part of PassionQA is the generated test suite.\n\nDashboard metrics and test counts are based on the generated test cases rather than fixed demo numbers.\n\nI also focused on keeping the AI experience transparent. If Gemini generates the result, the UI says so. If the application uses local fallback, that is clearly shown to the user.\n\nFinally, I created a Playwright-based demo flow using a real insurance Policy BRD. This helped me validate the same experience a QA engineer would follow: upload requirements, analyze quality, review risks, inspect test cases, check traceability, and export the results.\n\nI am submitting PassionQA for **Best Use of Google AI**.\n\nGemini is not used as a simple chat feature. It is the core requirement-analysis engine that transforms BRD content into structured QA artifacts: requirement insights, executable test cases, risk areas, RTM mappings, and recommendations.\n\nFor me, this project combines two things I am genuinely passionate about: **software quality and AI**.\n\nPassionQA started from a simple thought I often have while testing a product:\n\n**\"What are we missing before this reaches production?\"**\n\nThis project is my attempt to help QA teams answer that question earlier and faster.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/passionqa-turning-my-passion-for-software-quality-into-ai-powered-test", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/dhanashri_ugalmugale_6528/passionqa-turning-my-passion-for-software-quality-into-ai-powered-test-intelligence-lpo", "published_at": "2026-07-11 18:20:32+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-11 18:43:41.493800+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-tools", "developer-tools", "natural-language-processing", "ai-products"], "entities": ["PassionQA", "Google Gemini", "Next.js", "React", "TypeScript", "Tailwind CSS", "Playwright", "DhanashriQAEngineer"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/passionqa-turning-my-passion-for-software-quality-into-ai-powered-test", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/passionqa-turning-my-passion-for-software-quality-into-ai-powered-test.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/passionqa-turning-my-passion-for-software-quality-into-ai-powered-test.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/passionqa-turning-my-passion-for-software-quality-into-ai-powered-test.jsonld"}}
