As AI is Competing for Programmers’ Jobs, What Shall We Programmers Do?  From A Software Testing Researcher’s Perspective.

Abstract

KOL are warning that programmers’ job opportunities will be eliminated by AI. More and more development teams prompt AI for program templates.

In this trend, although less and less programmers will be needed, job opportunities for requirement engineers and program QA engineers will become stronger than ever.

In this speech, we discuss how software test teams may adapt to and benefit from the huge opportunity of AI technology.

Finally, we present a new product concept and a business model for software testing service in the AI era.
