Artificial Intelligence has gradually made its way into every industry and is shaping the future. As we now live in the era of digital transformation, testing needs to be transformed to keep up with the latest trends and inevitably move towards greater automation. The future of automation is Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

With the adoption and spread of digital technology, software testing helps different organizations stay competitive and shows exponential growth during the last four years.
