AI impact on this career

AI is reshaping QA by automating test generation and defect prediction, reducing the need for manual test case writing. Tools like GitHub Copilot and AI-powered test creation suites are raising the bar for what a single QA engineer can achieve. However, this is shifting the role toward more strategic oversight, system-level testing, and performance validation rather than eliminating jobs. QA Engineers in Australia must now pair traditional testing skills with scripting and CI/CD fluency to stay relevant.
