Treffer: AI-Powered Software Testing: Transforming Quality Assurance through Artificial Intelligence

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into software testing has emerged as a transformative advancement in the software development lifecycle. Traditional testing approaches, which rely heavily on manual effort, are often time-consuming, prone to human error, and challenging to scale. AI-powered software testing addresses these limitations by leveraging Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and computer vision technologies. These techniques automate test case generation, enhance defect prediction, and enable self-healing test scripts. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art AI-powered testing methodologies, tools, and frameworks, emphasizing their impact on improving efficiency, accuracy, and scalability. Additionally, it explores the challenges associated with AI integration, such as data dependency, algorithmic bias, and skill gaps within testing teams. Through detailed case studies, we illustrate real-world applications of AI-driven tools, demonstrating their ability to optimize testing processes and enhance software reliability. Future directions are outlined, including advancements in generative AI, hybrid human-AI testing models, and the development of explainable AI frameworks for increased transparency. This research underscores the critical role of AI in the evolution of software testing, paving the way for innovative and autonomous quality assurance practices.
