From the Desk of the Editor

Hello, and welcome to the mid-summer edition of The Quality Trail. As always, we’re summarizing the most impactful things that have happened in the world of software quality over the past month. 

If you come across an article or event that we missed, or just want to talk shop with likeminded people, drop us a line any time. It’s always a pleasure chatting with our readers.

As always, let us know if you think we’ve missed something, or share the link with your colleagues or partners who may benefit from some or all of this information. You can also sign up to receive these testing updates via email.

Conferences & Events 

The summer months are usually fairly light on events. That said, we have a few coming up: 

  • TribeQonf: Over 600 attendees going with a focus on bringing together India’s best testing minds. Hosted in Bengaluru from 7/11 to 7/12. 
  • Testing Talks: Hosted in Sydney, Australia on 7/31, with a great lineup of speakers for the day, including leaders from Planit, Applitools, Canva, Deloitte, and more. 
  • Sparks: Hosted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 7/31 by Synapse QA, including keynotes from James Bach, Leah Stockley, Michelle Duke, and Nur Azyyati Ahmad. 

AI in QA

Since AI (predominantly GenAI) ends up taking up such a significant chunk of our newsletters these days, we’ve opted to give it its very own section. 

If you’re a quality or software engineer and your organization has adopted GenAI-based coding solutions like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Windsurf, you’ve undoubtedly seen pull requests that have been either partially or entirely written by AI. As QA professionals, it probably starts setting off alarm bells when you do. 

Yuliia Baranetska wrote a post on Identifying When a Pull Request has been Generated with ChatGPT, including some of the signs to look for and how to apply increased scrutiny when the hunch is there.

Other articles in the same vein include: 

        Speaking of AI-generated code, some intriguing statistics have surfaced: 

        • Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said up to 30% of the company’s code is now AI-generated – per TechCrunch 
        • Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg said that “half of its development work could soon be done by AI.” – per Mashable 
        • During Google’s third quarter earnings call last year, CEO Sundar Pichai revealed that 25% of internal code was AI-generated – per Forbes. All signs point to that figuring having increased significantly in 2025. 
        • Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicts that AI will write 90% of code in 3-6 months, and nearly every line of code within the next year – per Business Insider 

        Even assuming some of these claims were grounded in more hype than reality, a key differentiator in today’s competitive environment is being able to write and ship code as quickly as possible, and companies can’t afford to fall behind.  

        It begs the question, what will be the Value of QA Roles After AI? 

        This was asked on the QualityAssurance subreddit, and it’s a fairly enlightening discussion. Here are a few more pieces that touch on or intersect with this idea:
