AMA on Decoding the Future of QA and SDET Roles in the Tech-Driven World by Babu Manickam | Testμ 2023

What are the tools and technologies one must learn in the current era of Gen AI evolving for 5 -7 yrs of experience?

Does it make sense to improve myself in theory of testing if AI can eventually cover test design and planning?

Can AI replace SDET jobs?

Which one is better Playwright or Cypress?

AI-driven tools often focus on predictive analysis. How can AI predict potential defects or areas of concern in software products, allowing testers to proactively address issues before they impact users?

What will be some of the tips for someone who is a developer but want to learn the basics of QA?

Does AI harbor implicit bias?

How “Penetration Testing” skill will be helpful for normal testers to learn in future?

How to choose or prepare a framework which suits current AI based fast paced world to write the automation scripts, as framework building is the basic need of an SDET?

Can any existing AI tool today suggest test scenarios based on use cases?

I am a SQA now, and would like to move to a QE role or into security testing, Do we have any standard roadmap to follow?

What are the potential benefits and limitations of using AI-powered testing tools for QA and SDET tasks, and how can professionals leverage them for maximum efficiency?

How do you foresee the evolving skill sets for QA professionals in a rapidly changing tech landscape? What new abilities will be crucial for success in QA and SDET roles in the years ahead?

I test chatbots in our application. Now a days, chatbots evolve beyond text to handle voice, images, or even videos. Do you have any suggestions on any AI tools that can help?

How can AI learn to test functions better / deeper than automated tests, especially for UI tests.

AI is one step ahead. But how can we align manual testing with automation testing considering the sprint cycle very small?

What are the main area where AI/ML can be integrated in test automation?

How do you perceive the evolving role of Quality Assurance (QA) professionals and Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) in today’s rapidly changing tech landscape?

Hi there,

Hi,

Cypress and Playwright both shine when it comes to test execution and debugging, although they take somewhat distinct approaches. Cypress delivers a smooth testing experience thanks to its user-friendly syntax and integrated test runner. In contrast, Playwright offers versatility through its multi-language support and extensive API.
