Industries are going digital because new technologies enable quicker and more successful software delivery. Conventional Quality Assurance (QA) systems, although, pose a very important challenge because of manual testing, test scripts that are both high-maintenance and slow regressions. This paper will provide a roadmap towards the switch to AI-enhanced automation pipelines and will demonstrate the tangible advantages of AI integration. The migration transforms into a 70 percent cycle time cut in regression, which used to take 90 days, and automation coverage of 10 percent up to 80-90. AI, as well, saves 50 percent of the handwork in testing, optimizes the supply of test cases, and saves 30 percent of defect escapes. An AI-based solution is more efficient, covers more tests, and has high-quality software. The most important recommendations to achieve a successful migration are to complete an evaluation of the current QA processes, establish the baseline metrics, and start with the pilot program in order to scale the automation. As AI progresses further, it is expected to become commonplace to have full autonomous test generation and predictive quality analytics, which will provide faster and more accurate testing results. Companies implementing AI-motivated QA pipelines will be able to gain a competitive advantage by improving the efficiency of their testing, achieving higher quality of their products, and shortening the time-to-market.
