AI Gave Developers More Capacity. Testers Are Next.
Talk to any developer who has been using an AI coding assistant for a few months, and you'll hear some version of the same thing: "I'm getting through a lot more than I used to." Same person. Same hours. More output. Now ask a QA manager how they're keeping up with all that extra output. You'll usually get a tired laugh, followed by: I'm not. And I can't hire. That's the gap I want to talk about. Development is finding ways to grow its capacity without growing the team.
