Beyond Brittle Code: Scaling Enterprise QA with Machine Learning in Test Automation

As product delivery cadences shrink, traditional quality assurance approaches are reaching operational constraints. Traditional scripted test scripts, albeit a tried-and-true method in the past, can no longer keep up with the onslaught of dynamic code changes, changing microfrontends, and CI pipelines.
