AI-Driven Software Testing - Transforming Software Testing with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

AI-Driven Software Testing explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are revolutionizing quality engineering (QE), making testing more intelligent, efficient, and adaptive.
The book begins by examining the critical role of QE in modern software development and the paradigm shift introduced by AI/ML. It traces the evolution of software testing, from manual approaches to AI-powered automation, highlighting key innovations that enhance accuracy, speed, and scalability. Readers will gain a deep understanding of quality engineering in the age of AI, comparing traditional and AI-driven testing methodologies to uncover their advantages and challenges. Moving into practical applications, the book delves into AI-enhanced test planning, execution, and defect management. It explores AI-driven test case development, intelligent test environments, and real-time monitoring techniques that streamline the testing lifecycle. Additionally, it covers AI s impact on continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), predictive analytics for failure prevention, and strategies for scaling AI-driven testing across cloud platforms. Finally, it looks ahead to the future of AI in software testing, discussing emerging trends, ethical considerations, and the evolving role of QE professionals in an AI-first world.
With real-world case studies and actionable insights, AI-Driven Software Testing is an essential guide for QE engineers, developers, and tech leaders looking to harness AI for smarter, faster, and more reliable software testing.
