PM told me to lie about the defect, what should I do?

Upvotes

I have been working on quality testing of this particular project, and I overlooked some defects during the dev. phase (due to lack of support from the other QA as well). I am the only one working on two projects right now, and I am trying my best to search for defects even until the weekends.

Now, I told my PM about that defect—which our developer marked as Change Request (CR). Now, our PM told me to “lie” to our developer that this defect has not occurred prior.

When I got back to the defect ID, I just told our developers about how it’s not a change request because it’s not even an additional field or functionality that needs to be integrated in the system—and all the logical reasoning for them to accept that it was not a change request.

It just feels hellish when I overlook some major defects. ☹️

QAs using Claude Code or Codex: which one do you prefer?

2 Upvotes

For those using AI coding agents for web test automation, which one are you currently preferring: Claude Code or Codex?

I mainly work with Playwright/Cypress and would like to hear from people who have actually used both.

What made you choose one over the other?

Screenshot regression gets noisy at exactly the wrong time

0 Upvotes

Release week is when a screenshot queue starts collecting everything at once: a real layout shift, a clipped label, and the usual font rendering noise. The diff job catches all of it, then a reviewer opens a stack of nearly identical images to decide what can actually block the release.

One idea is to send only those noisy regions to SAM 2 and use LingBot-Vision for the boundary features. It would still need a small classifier trained on the team's own screenshots, with the original image next to every result. Sorting obvious rendering noise away from likely layout bugs is enough; the release decision can stay with the reviewer.
