For my QA peeps: They say not to take your work home with you, but that’s easier said than done when you work from home. I find myself constantly asking the hard questions: What happens when I stress test the air fryer? How about load testing the dishwasher? Or the ever-popular task: debugging interpersonal relationships? (Let me tell you, “good catch” is not a commonly heard phrase at home.)

Most QA teams aren't the bottleneck. The process is. Manual test cases. Repetitive scripts. Regression cycles that eat up entire sprints. It's not a people problem - it's a process problem. In 2026, the teams shipping faster aren't working harder on QA. They're working differently. That's what we built Aurick for. If you're curious what that looks like in practice, learn more at → aurick.ai #QA #SoftwareTesting #Automation #ProductDevelopment

You don’t need more test cases. You need smarter ones. Your QA teams are drowning in thousands of test scripts, yet bugs still slip through, releases get delayed, and maintenance eats up your time. That’s exactly where AI steps in. Here’s how SDET360ai (https://lnkd.in/dbyA3xmw) changes the game: 🔹 Cuts regression cycles by 70–80% through AI-led test prioritization. 🔹 Boosts meaningful test coverage by up to 85%. 🔹 Reduces test maintenance effort by automating locators, code, and data generation. Instead of bloated test suites and guesswork, you get intelligent coverage that knows where risk lives and how to focus your QA efforts. SDET Tech's next-gen, AI-powered, web-based platform, SDET360ai, transforms performance testing into a strategic driver of speed, quality, and confidence. Stop testing everything. Start testing what matters. Check out our latest blog and let AI show you how: https://lnkd.in/dteYR77E #SDETTech #SDET360 #TestAutomation #AIinTesting #SoftwareTesting #QualityAssurance

Got a lot of questions after my recent video about being laid off in 2026, so I made a follow-up on the current state of the QA job market. In this video, I share what I’m honestly seeing right now: how AI and automation are changing expectations, why the market feels tougher, and what QA engineers can do to stay relevant. I also answer viewer questions and talk about breaking into QA, moving from manual to automation, and navigating the job search in today’s environment.
