While still in its early days, artificial intelligence is becoming a driving force behind innovation in software testing. While automation has improved testing efficiency, AI can take it further by influencing critical decision-making. Rather than reacting to issues as they arise, teams can now identify potential problems earlier in the development cycle. In this article, we’ll explore how artificial intelligence can help teams rethink their testing strategies.

Software testability measures how simple it is to test both the system as a whole and each individual component. In modern discussions about testing, the focus often shifts solely to the tests themselves, overlooking the socio-technical environment in which the application or project operates. Ensuring your application is testable means making it straightforward and reliable to test, so that when issues arise, we can be confident they are real issues and not artifacts of poor testability.

Test automation involves software tools and scripts to execute tests automatically without manual intervention, which accelerates testing cycles, enhances accuracy, and minimizes human errors. Artificial Intelligence (AI) includes machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. These systems simulate human intelligence, enabling machines to learn from data, make decisions, and solve problems autonomously.
