All of these factors will continue to drive an increasing need for AI and machine learning (ML) to increase the effectiveness of test creation, reduce the cost of maintenance and drive efficient test loops.

AI-augmented software-testing tools use algorithmic approaches to enhance the productivity of testers and offer a wide range of capabilities across different areas of the test workflow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are currently several ways in which generative AI tools can assist software engineering leaders and their teams when it comes to software quality and testing:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authoring test automation code is possible across unit, application programming interface (API) and user interface (UI) for both functional and nonfunctional checks and evaluation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/webinar\/489110\/1145545?utm_medium=press-release&amp;utm_campaign=RM_NA_2023_ITSWEL_NPP_PR1_SDTIMESBYLINE&amp;utm_term=wb\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generative AI<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help with general-impact analysts, such as comparing different versions of use stories, code files and test results for potential risks and causes, as well as to triage flaky tests and defects.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test data can be generated for populating a database or driving test cases.
