Hi everyone,

Thank you to all who joined my session “AI Took My Job, So I Took Its Seat at the Table.” It was an absolute pleasure sharing my journey of how a single question from a CTO — “Why do we need human testers when GPT can generate test cases in seconds?” — led me to rethink the role of testers in the age of AI.

If you couldn’t make it to the webinar live, the recording is now available here

In the session, we explored:

  • How AI can accelerate certain testing tasks

  • Where it still falls short without human judgment

  • Why the true value of a tester lies in asking the questions AI cannot imagine

Now, I’d love to keep the conversation going. This thread is your chance to:

  • Share your own experiences with AI in testing

  • Challenge my perspective

  • Ask me any follow-up questions you didn’t get to ask during the webinar

Here’s the recording of the Q&A section that happened at the end of the webinar:

 

 

Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below. I’ll be here to respond and exchange ideas with you.

👉 So, what’s the one question or insight you’d like to bring to the table?

 

Looking forward to our discussion!

​@brijeshdeb ,

This was such a thought-provoking session, Brijesh 👏. What really stood out for me is the way you reframed the CTO’s question not as a threat, but as an invitation to redefine the value of testers. AI can generate cases, crunch logs, and even self-heal scripts, but it can’t yet replicate the curiosity, empathy, and critical questioning that humans bring.

For me, the big insight is that testers in the age of AI aren’t losing relevance, we’re gaining a chance to step into more strategic, creative roles. Instead of asking ‘what test to run,’ we get to ask ‘are we even solving the right problem?’ That’s the seat at the table AI can’t occupy.

My question for you: how do you see testers best preparing themselves for this shift is it about sharpening technical skills, or doubling down on the human ones AI can’t mimic? Or perhaps both?

Hunt the bugs, ensure the hugs. Quality is everything.

Hello ​@brijeshdeb Brother,

 

Been using AI for test case gen, test data, issue debugging. And I know there are certain limitations which we need to handle like without context or custom prompt, it can create which ever format it knows.

 

Providing context and what you’re expecting it to give matters a lot. You also need to know where to use and you will only know once you start exploring it. It’s a junior tester but with very good knowledge but needs your expertise to train, so that you can utilize the skills of AI. 

I’ll update my comment based on the progress, I made.
