AI is transforming software development, but where does that leave testing and quality assurance? In episode 3 of Cloud Native Testing Podcast, Ole Lensmar and Laurent P. of Packmind dive into AI’s evolving role in software testing—both as a powerful tool for automation and as a partner to human expertise. They explore: ? AI’s dual role in testing—test generation vs. critical thinking ? The importance of exploratory testing in an AI-driven world ? How AI can optimize test execution without replacing human oversight ? The challenges junior developers face in an increasingly automated industry ? What the future of AI in software development looks like Tune in now to hear their take on balancing automation with human judgment in the age of AI. ?? https://lnkd.in/eeqsUjJ4 #CloudNative #SoftwareTesting #AI #QualityAssurance #DevOps #QA

Shift-left testing is great, but is it enough? ?? In the latest Cloud Native Testing Podcast episode, Ole Lensmar and Mario-Leander Reimer of QAware GmbH discuss the realities of automated testing in cloud-native environments. Setting up a proper CI/CD pipeline for testing takes time and investment, but the payoff is huge: scalable, reliable testing that doesn’t slow development down. ? Shift-left testing works—but it’s not the only approach ? Automated testing requires proper setup, not just "quick fixes" ? A well-designed CI/CD pipeline makes testing faster and more efficient How do you approach automated testing in your cloud-native stack? ?? ?? Full episode: https://bit.ly/41TCn2g

?? Empowering Teams to Test Cloud-Native Applications ?? A huge thank you to Ole Lensmar, CTO at Testkube and everyone who joined our “Going Cloud Native: How to Effectively Test Your App and Infrastructure” webinar this morning. ?? That was epic and the discussion was packed with practical takeaways on what continuous testing truly means in a cloud-native environment. ? Key Takeaways ? 1?? Embrace Ephemeral Environments: Deploy production-like, short-lived environments early to detect issues faster and validate resiliency. 2?? Integrate Testing Across the Pipeline: Embed testing throughout the development lifecycle—from pre-build unit tests to post-deployment validations—within CI/CD and GitOps workflows to ensure stability and rapid iteration. 3?? Leverage AI & Automation: Leverage AI-driven test creation and analytics to optimize test coverage, reduce manual overhead, and enable proactive quality assurance in dynamic, containerized architectures. ?? Why It Matters ?? As cloud native architectures redefine how we build, deploy, and test software, traditional testing methods are no longer enough. Embracing continuous testing dramatically enhances system resilience. ?? Missed the webinar?
