to disappear ai is making that claim louder than ever but the deeper shift is not the end of testing oct 2 2026 read the article no 03 upcoming is waterfall coming back in the age of ai for years software teams moved away from waterfall in pursuit of speed now ai is changing the economics of development and making stronger upfront requirements look surprisingly modern again oct 21 2026 coming soon no 04 upcoming developers can t do all the testing or can they developers can test their own code ai can help them do even more of it but can they really replace independent testing early
