As QGIS and its plugins evolve rapidly, teams often struggle to verify that critical workflows remain stable and performant across new releases. Manual testing is time-consuming and subjective, yet there is no easy way to automate it directly within QGIS.

This talk presents the Macro plugin, which records mouse and keyboard events as reusable macros, enabling advanced automation without writing a single line of code. These macros can be saved, shared and executed in different environments.

By combining macros with the Profiler plugin, it is possible to monitor these recorded QGIS actions to detect performance regressions issues and anomalies from the QGIS UI down to individual Python function calls.

Practical applications of Macro and Profiler plugins:
* Repeatable test setups for end-to-end testing
* Automating repetitive manual tasks (even digitizing or editing features)
* Comparing rendering speeds and processing times across different environments and QGIS or plugin versions
* Identifying performance bottlenecks in QGIS

The talk includes live demos of both plugins.
