Changing Role of Quality Engineering in the Age of AI [Testμ 2024]

In the age of AI, Quality Engineering (QE) is evolving from traditional testing to a more strategic function that ensures overall software quality and performance. AI tools are becoming integral to everyday tasks in software engineering, reshaping organizational trends, processes, and roles while addressing challenges and biases inherent in AI models. The role of QA professionals will shift from manual testing to focusing on critical thinking, effective communication, and understanding both traditional and new technical skills. As AI takes over routine tasks, manual QA roles could evolve to focus on strategic value, potentially combining coding and validation tasks into a single role.
