À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Keith Klain has spent 25+ years leading enterprise quality programs in financial services and is one of the testing industry's most respected voices. In this episode, he joins Joe to discuss his BrowserStack talk, "The Death of Test Engineering," why testing isn't dying—but outdated testing roles are—and how AI is reshaping the future of software quality.
In this episode:- Why "The Death of Test Engineering" isn't what you think
- The difference between checking and testing
- Will AI replace software testers?
- Why confidence engineering matters
- How to communicate testing in business terms
- Where automation adds real value
- Why agentic AI testing is overhyped
- "If you look at AI as a competitor, you're screwed. If you look at it as just another tool... it's not a threat."
- "Uncertainty in testing is a feature, not a bug."
- "If an organization doesn't value testing, you're doing it wrong."
- "You can be incredibly confident about something and incredibly wrong."
Ask yourself after every critical defect: "What would the business impact have been if this had gone live?" It's a simple way to shift conversations from test cases to business risk.
