Quality is beyond just testing in 2023 – evolution through AI Chatbot and ChatGPT
ChatGPT’s everywhere, isn’t it? You’d be hard pressed to find someone in your industry, or even friendship group, who hasn’t tried it out at least once*. We are mostly curious creatures after all.
While AI isn’t new, the debate continues around where and how to adopt it and that’s why we’re throwing one more viewpoint into the mix. Quality Engineering/Testing, a pillar of the software development lifecycle, is undergoing a shift like never before. As of 2023, tech companies are investing more than 25% of their total budget into QA and testing. This statistic is an evident indicator of the activity’s utmost importance. But what if there was a way to transform this essential component, making it more accurate, efficient, effective, and even cost-saving?
In this session let’s look at how Generative AI can entirely transform the QA process. We will dive deep into how we build an AI solution (POC) for UK’s Department for Education its potential to automate repetitive tasks, reduce manual effort, and enhance the accuracy and speed of the testing process. We will examine how these changes has the potential to help DfE to build more reliable software, faster delivery times, and a more simplified and efficient QA process.
This should make us think: if Generative AI can bring such a massive improvement in QA process, how much more can the wider software development benefit from this? What does ‘next gen QA’ really look like !
