In this Betatalks episode, Rick and Oscar talk with Bram Albers, Principal Quality Assurance at Betabit, about how software testing has evolved from an afterthought to a core part of development. They discuss how automation and AI improve efficiency but risk reducing critical thinking, making tester instincts and skepticism essential, and Bram warns against confirmation bias while stressing the value of exploratory testing to uncover issues automation might miss. The conversation challenges traditional models like the test pyramid, supporting adaptable, project-specific approaches, with the core message that quality is a shared responsibility.
