Artificial Intelligence in Software Testing: A Game Changer


Software testing, once a laborious and largely manual process, has improved significantly with advancements in machine learning, predictive analytics, and natural language processing.


With an AI-infused software testing process, you can expect to see improved speed and efficiency, a reduction in errors, the capability to cover a vast range of scenarios, and predictive insights based on past data, just to name a few.


And with geometric growth in AI's capabilities, the future looks promising. Look for machine learning algorithms that can generate test cases, and predictive analytics that can identify potential issues.


AI may ultimately reshape the landscape of software testing as we know it.

Watch: "Applying RPA to Software Testing" Lunch & Learn


Robotic Process Automation’s (RPA) versatility allows it to be applied to a wide range of processes, enabling organizations to increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve accuracy by automating repetitive tasks using software “Bots”. Use cases range from data entry and report generation to HR and finance and admin automation.


In this technical session, we give you an overview of RPA, and dive into the ability of RPA to create a modern, data-driven automated testing environment that can be plugged into your CI/CD pipeline.


This webinar is relevant to you whether you use CA Plex, CA 2E, or other software development tools.
