Rethinking Testing for the AI Era

The real obstacle to AI revolutionizing development? Us. Are we bold enough to rebuild processes and make AI a true collaborator? Can we ditch the fantasy of "one tool to rule them all" and embrace smarter, leaner AI teamwork? The future of testing—and AI—demands a total shift in mindset. Are you ready to rewrite the rules? Catch the latest episode of Test Case Scenario to see what’s next.

AI Alone Won't Improve Productivity or Velocity

AI tools promise to revolutionize everything, but are they making us smarter or lazier? Here are the questions I still have about the real impact of AI in development. Are teams using AI to augment their work or replace themselves entirely? Process and social change are a no-brainer, but are we keeping up? Are we adapting or coasting? And the big question: As AI gets smarter, are we dumbing ourselves down, losing our grip on what it means to understand?

Meetings, Tech Debt, and AI Are Slowing Developers Down

AI was seen as a potential means to revolutionize developer productivity, but the 2024 DORA report tells a different story. Here’s the reality developers are facing: Tech debt and documentation remain massive blockers, and AI tools aren’t fixing them.

Learn more in the latest episode of Test Case Scenario.

ChatGPT: Gamechanger or Not?

Depending on who you ask, ChatGPT is either a game-changer or just an incremental upgrade. On Test Case Scenario, we unpack how perceptions of ChatGPT have evolved and why it matters. Early adopters are immersed in its evolution and may overlook how far it’s come. Occasional users are blown away by improvements that feel like a leap forward. Here’s the real question, though.
