Over the years, the whole idea of software testing has evolved. And the evolution not only has called for modern testing strategies and tools but a detailed-oriented process with the inclusion of test methodologies. However, the only thing that defines the success or failure of a test strategy is the precise selection of tools, technology, and a suitable methodology to aid the entire QA process.

In 2004 I was working for Microsoft in the Xbox group, and a new console was being created. I got a copy of the detailed descriptions of the Xbox 360 CPU and I read it through multiple times and suddenly I’d learned enough to become the official CPU expert. That meant I started having regular meetings with the hardware engineers who were working with IBM on the CPU which gave me even more expertise on this CPU, which was critical in helping me discover a design flaw in one of its instructions ,

The safest predictions are all around AI. We’ll see more “AI as a service” (AIaaS) products. This trend started with the gigantic language model GPT-3.
