The future of software testing is autonomous—but are you prepared for what that means? Our comprehensive survey of 400 software testing executives and engineering leaders reveals a striking reality: while 97% of companies are using or planning to use agentic AI for testing, 61% admit their leadership doesn't truly understand software testing requirements.
Key insights from our survey:
The Trust Gap: 72% believe AI will achieve fully autonomous testing by 2027, yet the same percentage remains nervous about granting AI agents full data access.
The Blame Game: When AI makes mistakes, 60% of organizations hold employees responsible rather than the technology—creating a dangerous accountability imbalance.
The Hybrid Reality: Despite AI enthusiasm, 85% prefer mixing human expertise with AI agents rather than going fully autonomous.
The Leadership Disconnect: Engineering leaders and executives have vastly different perspectives on AI timelines, security concerns, and implementation strategies.
