原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Software testing is a crucial phase in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), ensuring that products meet necessary functional, performance, and quality benchmarks before release. Despite advancements in automation, traditional methods of generating and validating test cases still face significant challenges, including prolonged timelines, human error, incomplete test coverage, and high costs of manual intervention. These limitations often lead to delayed product launches and undetected defects that compromise software quality and user satisfaction. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into software testing presents a promising solution to these persistent challenges. AI-driven testing methods automate the creation of comprehensive test cases, dynamically adapt to changes, and leverage machine learning to identify high-risk areas in the codebase. This approach enhances regression testing efficiency while expanding overall test coverage. Furthermore, AI-powered tools enable continuous testing and self-healing test cases, significantly reducing manual oversight and accelerating feedback loops, ultimately leading to faster and more reliable software releases. This paper explores the transformative potential of AI in improving test case generation and validation, focusing on its ability to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and scalability in testing processes. It also addresses key challenges associated with adapting AI for testing, including the need for high quality training data, ensuring model transparency, and maintaining a balance between automation and human oversight. Through case studies and examples of real-world applications, this paper illustrates how AI can significantly enhance testing efficiency across both legacy and modern software systems.
