AI-Assisted, AI-Augmented & Autonomous Testing: Choosing the Right Approach
AI is transforming software testing, but not all AI-powered solutions are created equal. Teams are navigating a spectrum of AI capabilities—from AI-assisted coding and test generation to AI-augmented execution and fully autonomous testing. But which of these technologies are truly production-ready, and where do they still fall short?
Join Lee Vardaro, Technical Solutions Architect, as he breaks down the landscape of AI-assisted, AI-augmented, and autonomous testing.
Key takeaways:
- The differences between AI-assisted, AI-augmented, and autonomous testing—and when to use each
- Which AI testing features fall into AI-assisted, AI-augmented, and autonomous categories
- How different AI-powered testing features contribute to improved test reliability, efficiency, and overall impact on team productivity
- The current limitations of AI in testing and where human oversight remains essential
See how AI can complement your existing testing strategy and discover how to choose the right AI-powered solutions to improve software quality and accelerate release velocity.
