During the first wave of Covid, a lot of companies rushed to lay off their employees and finding a possible surge in online businesses – they rehired them or hired more. The fall of jobs was sharp and the rise of hiring was a tall spike. This was due to an uncertainty with life and money. AI though is behaving slightly differently. The fall of jobs is slow but steady. There will come a rise of jobs again but the debatable question is what kind of jobs and who is skilled to do it and what will be valued then?
In testing – how would the jobs transform. Will the world need QA, SDET’s? If yes, what kind? Would that be a skill that most people can acquire? If not what are their options? What kind of low level jobs will be created in the AI aftermath?
To answer these critical questions, Pradeep is bringing his lateral thinking mind, the heart of a tester, an unbiased soul with a vision and the experience of practical on ground realities he is facing as a businessman building a product and services business in the testing era combined to a talk.

A reference architecture you can take back to Monday’s sprint planning, plus the metrics that prove it’s working.
