A few years ago, AI in testing was a futuristic conversation. Now it's a daily one, the share of US employees using AI at work has than doubled in two years, from about a fifth to nearly half. Every week brings a new model, a new coding assistant, another "AI-powered" testing platform, and one confident prediction that engineers and testers are about to vanish. So the question keeps coming: is AI going to replace testers? The honest truth…partially, yes. Not because testing stops mattering, and not because human judgment suddenly goes obsolete.
