The Future of Software Testing, Featuring Daniel Knott & Coty Rosenblath

Recently, Daniel Knott, the man behind the YouTube channel Software Testing by Daniel Knott, had a lively discussion with Coty Rosenblath, CTO at Katalon, on the aspects of AI in software testing and how it will change the industry.

Some key takeaways from the discussion:

AI is revolutionizing testing by automating tedious tasks, analyzing test cases, and identifying patterns in real-world user behavior. Katalon’s AI-powered solutions, such as TrueTest and TestOps, leverage large language models (LLMs) to:

• Generate test cases from requirements (integrating with JIRA, ALM tools).
• Automate test execution while maintaining human oversight.
• Analyze real-world user interactions to improve coverage.

However, human testers remain irreplaceable. AI assists but cannot replace the need for critical thinking. At the same time, QA professionals must continuously evolve to become a "hybrid tester", one who combine AI tools, domain knowledge, exploratory testing mindset, and automation testing skills.
