Artificial Intelligence and Software Testing

Book description

AI presents a new paradigm in the development of software, representing the biggest change to how we think about quality and testing in decades. Many well known issues around AI manifest as quality management problems. This book explores AI from that angle and is aimed at testing and quality management practitioners who want to understand more.
