AI is rapidly transforming the landscape of software testing, shifting the essential skill sets required for testers and the tools they use. Gartner has forecasted that by 2027, 80% of enterprises will have integrated AI-augmented testing tools into their software engineering toolchain—a monumental leap from 15% in 2023. But what does this mean for software testers, and how can organizations prepare for this AI-driven future?
In this discussion, we will explore how AI is reshaping the testing ecosystem, the evolving roles of testers, and the emergence of no-code, AI-powered tools that are replacing traditional code-based and manual testing methods. We'll also address the challenges and roadblocks, from the need for AI/ML skills to managing data privacy and security and offer a realistic view of AI's capabilities in software testing.
