Evolution of Testing Function & Industry Trends
summary
Claims that AI handles ~90% of current QA/SDET tasks, including writing test plans, cases and automation, and that testing shifts from quantity to qualitative testing for AI bias and model behavior. Recommends following the pyramid of testing: ~70–80% unit, 15–20% integration, ≤5% end-to-end, building hermetic stacks and test doubles, learning system design, coding and AI tool development, and upskilling toward analytics and testable software.
