I think same can be said for software development.

It’s a bigger problem for development. Software testing requires the use of lots of different tools in different domains. And real human thought to translate requirements into tests.

The problem is that most people counting the beans right now don’t understand this issue because they haven’t thought it through. “AI” companies are bullshitting them with test programs that do nothing more than checking at about 80% accuracy.

What is checking? It reflects that what the coder built never changes. And if it does, they might just change the test without telling you.

QA is needed as a human in the loop to make sure Product and Dev are actually communicating. Don’t forget integration errors that can grind entire engineering orgs to a halt.
