Quality Engineering with GenAI and Agentic AI

Image

engineering is about team members and their stakeholders taking joint responsibility to deliver IT systems with the right quality at the right moment. This involves all lifecycle activities. Some people think quality engineering is just a fancy name for testing, but it is much more. In this module, you will read about a wide range of quality engineering activities and how GenAI can perform these activities as one of the crossfunctional team members.

People in a cross-functional team assume multiple roles to perform a wide range of tasks. This way, the team is flexible. Team members share the responsibility to complete all tasks on time. In this book, we use the term quality engineer to refer to individuals who are part of a cross-functional team and capable of performing various tasks. The term does not denote a specific job title but serves as an umbrella term for those involved in delivering the right level of quality at the right time.


Quality engineering needs to be amplified by applying GenAI, other tools and smart approaches to ensure that every task within the IT delivery lifecycle is carried out in a balanced manner, concerning speed, quality, and business value.
