#370: Will AI replace QA testers? Three years ago, manual testers were told to learn automation or find another job. Now the automation engineers are hearing the same thing about AI. Same speech, new audience.

Here's the thing. Nobody can test everything. Somebody still has to decide what quality means for your product and which workflows can't break, and your team is shipping ten times the code it used to. The conveyor belt got faster. You still have two eyes.

In this episode, we speak with Shubha Govil, Chief Product Officer at Sauce Labs, about why the testing roles stay but the work doesn't.
