Introduction
Software testing is witnessing a significant shift due to the influence of generative AI. Its capacity to product artificial test scenarios could completely rethink the efficacy and efficiency of testing procedures.
In order to demonstrate how generative AI can completely transform conventional testing methods, this study will examine the significant effects of generative AI on software testing.
Software testing, a crucial stage of software development, guarantees the functionality, dependability, and efficiency of programs. Conventional testing techniques, however, find it difficult to keep up with the quick expansion of software complexity. An automated and flexible testing approach is required due to the emergence of complex software architectures, networked systems and continuous integration/delivery.
