Signup for the Beta AI is here whether we are ready or not. AI is increasingly used to create test plans, perform simple test automation, and even pass ISTQB tests. These AI tools will shine when experienced testers can instill their testing expertise into the AI. Trained on Public Data Popular and general-purpose AI…

The emergence of ChatGPT is quickly transforming software development, but the required software testing strategies are lagging. With the rise of GPT-based apps, developers and testers must consider new challenges when measuring and ensuring their products' quality. Unlike traditional software design and testing, which prioritize highly-structured and predictable output, GPT…
