Quality debt: AI-accelerated development brings production outages and testing gaps
An Undo survey links AI coding tools to production outages, and Tech Field Day says AI development builds "quality debt" that traditional testing cannot keep up with. Industry analyses say the agentic era calls for more testers.
Who is affected and how
- QA tester
- With the flood of AI-driven changes, risk-based, automated and exploratory testing gain value.
