Abstract

Artificial intelligence has taken its place in almost every industry individual operate in, it has become integral part of applications and systems in our surrounding. The world quality report estimates that 64% of the companies will implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the Software Quality Assurance (SQA) processes. It is predicted that in the very near future, SQA engineer will not be testing manually. But they would be acquiring skills to use AI enabled tools techniques for Software Quality assurances in order to contribute to the business growth. AI proves to play a crucial role in the software testing as it makes processes leaner and yields more accurate results. This paper will discuss about how Artificial Intelligence makes impact in the software testing industry. The new era of Quality Assurance will be dominated by the power of Artificial Intelligence as it significantly reduces time and increase efficiency of the firm to develop more sophisticated software. This studies focuses on artificial intelligence applications in software testing, which of the AI algorithms are popularly adopted by the QA industry, Furthermore, this paper talks about real issues that resides in the industry for instance; why young testers are more flexible towards adopting latest technological changes.
