Research Topic: Artificial Intelligence in Software Testing

Research Question(s): How will artificial intelligence change the software testing and quality assurance/engineering work in software development?

Want to participate in my study? I’m interested in interviewing practitioners who perform software testing activities across different types of software development organizations in both technical and non-technical roles.

You can be a tester, a QA specialist, a software developer, an architect, test automation developer, product owner, domain expert etc.

Software testing activities here is a broad concept, it can include any activites where the purpose is to enhance the quality of the software. For example, tasks related to unit testing, acceptance testing, regression testing, UI testing, integration testing, manual testing, test automation, test framework development, test infrastructure, test documentation, test management, test planning, release testing, compliance testing, etc…

I’d like to hear about your opinions, expectations and/or experiences of AI adoption in software testing. Interviewees with and without AI adoption experience are welcome to join! Book an interview with me.

What you get from participating in this study: You will receive new practical guidelines and reports on AI in software testing, based on the latest research (not only my research, but overall). In addition, you will have access to all the scientific publications (papers, doctoral thesis) created during the three-year research project

More information: Want to know what you are agreeing to? Take a look at the information about the research background, your rights as an interviewee, and data privacy and processing .

To participate in the study, all you need to do is book an interview with me. The time reserved per interview is 1h 20 minutes. The interviews are done and recorded via Teams (if this is not ok for you and want to participate, let me know and we can consider other options). Participation in the interviews is voluntary, and you have the right to withdraw from the study at any point (before, during or after the interviews). Interviews can be done in English or Finnish, whichever you prefer.

When you have booked the interview, you will receive an automatic notification about the booking that contains the link to the Teams meeting. I will also contact you and provide more information about the interview process.
