In a session at Testμ 2022, Chaitanya Kolar, Managing Director at Deloitte, discussed the evolving role of quality engineering through the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with human expertise, emphasizing that AI will transform but not replace the role of testers. He highlighted the historical context of AI, noting its presence since the 1960s but emphasizing that current data availability enables greater innovation. Kolar explained that AI aids in requirement analysis, test design, coverage optimization, and reporting, with survey results showing significant adoption in these areas. He addressed challenges such as skill gaps and tool availability, advocating for tester education in data science to leverage AI tools effectively. He also shared insights into testing AI systems, which differ from traditional applications due to their nondeterministic nature and the need for specialized testing approaches. Kolar suggested that while AI tools can enhance testing, they require proper training and integration with traditional methodologies to be effective. The session underscored the importance of adapting testing strategies to accommodate AI's capabilities and limitations, with Kolar expressing optimism about the future of AI in quality engineering.
