The Fear of Becoming Irrelevant
summary
Claims that AI automates the boring parts of testing and speeds delivery by generating test data, strategies and even production prototypes; experiments use Claude, prompt‑driven “W coding” and a vertical team of AI agents that produces real apps (digital‑lock case management, logistics for defense) under TDD with tester agents. Results show faster test automation and more output, occasional AI‑introduced bugs, and sharp pushback from long‑time experts who fear status loss.
