๐ง Generative AI and the Future of Software Testing
๐ค What is Generative AI?
Generative AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that can generate new content — such as text, images, audio, video, or even code — based on the data they’ve learned from.
Popular Generative AI Tools:
-
ChatGPT – generates human-like text
-
GitHub Copilot – writes code and test cases
-
DALL·E – creates images from text prompts
-
Sora – generates videos from text descriptions
These tools are based on large language models (LLMs) and deep learning technologies.
๐งช AI in Software Testing – A New Era Begins
Traditionally, software testing included:
-
Manual Testing
-
Automation Testing (using tools like Selenium, Java, Python)
Now, with AI, we’re moving into a third wave of testing —
AI-Powered Testing.
What is AI Testing?
-
AI tools generate test cases automatically
-
Predict bugs using machine learning
-
Self-healing scripts that fix themselves
-
Smart visual validations and data analysis
Popular AI Testing Tools:
-
Testim.io
-
Mabl
-
Applitools
-
Functionize
-
GitHub Copilot (for test case writing)
๐จ๐ป Who is an AI Tester?

Responsibilities:
-
Using AI to generate and validate test cases
-
Performing exploratory testing using AI suggestions
-
Understanding AI-based analytics and dashboards
-
Verifying machine learning model outputs
-
Working with tools like Copilot, Mabl, Testim
