The platform of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) has been considered a highly productive
domain by organizations worldwide. With the advent of AI testing, the software testing realm will eventually witness
a monumental shift in the way testing activities are carried out. Accurate test results along with testing large
amounts of data without any human intervention can be made possible by the AI platform. A QA tester has to raise
the bar in terms of upgrading the specific skillsets required to manage the complex and intricate aspects of artificial
intelligence and machine learning meticulously. In this article, you will get to know about the future role of the QA
tester, when AI testing will take over.
The Future Role
of a QA Tester When
AI and Automation
Testing Takes Over
Inaccuracies are greatly reduced in QA through the strategic application of AI:
Both machines and humans have their pros and cons. Huge amounts of data can be greatly analyzed by machines,
whereas humans excel in applying knowledge and exploring creativity. Humans are required for carrying out
traditional testing, so that data can be sourced and analyzed.
Inaccuracies occur when large amounts of data are not dealt with properly. This will in turn lead to defects in
software that will eventually hinder the progress of a project. When it comes to the overall brand reputation, general
trustworthiness of the application and product positioning in the market, the issues would need to be tactically
acted upon.
For the above mentioned reasons, accurate results are achieved through the tactical implementation of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) platforms. These high-end platforms teach systems to apply learned
knowledge and learn source analysis.
The future roles of QA testers:
The platform of AI will not be able to perform each and every activity of software testing succinctly. But, testers need
to gear up as the testing platform will become more complex and intricate, as testers need to integrate AI in the
software testing domain.
Software testing is a significant and valuable component of the software development process and there is a
determined or fixed result expected out of it. New ways need to be ascertained by testers for the purpose of
exposing defects in application results. Unique testing tasks need to be focused upon by the testers, rather than
executing the test itself.
Mathematical models should be utilized in order to analyze the results of algorithms effectively and to make sure
that the thought process of testers is mimicked with regard to risk assessment.
Software tester’s roles are diversified:
As there is a constant evolution of the AI platform, there is a possibility that most of the test execution activities will
be taken over by the machines. In the process, efficient testing methodologies will be implemented by
organizations. But, this in turn will lead to a point where QA engineers need to level up and develop new skills at the
earliest.
If a working relationship needs to be maintained between man and machine, then in certain specific areas software
testers must outsmart machines and ensure steady growth.
When AI testing is being leveraged, software testers and developers must have practical knowledge in neuro
linguistic programming, business intelligence, algorithmic analysis, math optimization etc., so that the software
development domain can be further improved. Software testers must also learn, understand and build machine
learning algorithms, understand math models and data flow as well as perform predictive analysis so that new AI
strategies can be formed.
Software testers must have a keen understanding to know what it takes to teach AI in line with working through huge
amounts of data, analyzing certain information and executing tests.
