The Future of Software Testing Isn't Bright. It's Dark.

UiPath argues autonomous testing frees human testers to focus on judgment, risk and quality strategy.
UiPath argues the future of software testing is dark in the sense of lights-out automation running without human attendance.
Autonomous testing takes over the execution work that currently consumes tester time. That frees human testers to concentrate on judgment, risk assessment and quality strategy.
UiPath's position is that this makes tester expertise more valuable rather than redundant, because the remaining work is the part that requires it. The post addresses testing leaders planning how their function changes as AI scales.
