Quality Horizon | S2E4 | The hidden costs of test maintenance & strategies to lower the burden

This episode brings together the best insights from all episodes of season 2, offering a comprehensive look at key trends, challenges, and breakthroughs shaping the future of QA.

☑️ AI-powered automation is reshaping QA workflows: AI is not replacing testers—it’s enabling them to automate thousands of test cases in minutes, optimize test coverage, and reduce manual effort, allowing QA teams to focus on strategy rather than repetitive tasks.
☑️ The balance between AI adoption and trust: While AI-driven test generation and self-healing automation reduce maintenance efforts, trust remains a key challenge. Organizations must take a "trust but verify" approach, ensuring AI-driven results are reliable before full-scale adoption.
☑️ Long-term success requires strategic maintenance: Many QA teams struggle with automation sustainability. Without proper maintenance planning, AI-powered test automation can become costly and ineffective. Investing in modular test design, reusable components, and clear test ownership is crucial for long-term ROI.
