Software testing has always been a cornerstone of the software development life cycle (SDLC). But with the emergence of disruptive technologies such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Smart Machines, IoT, 5G, and Robotics, the scope and complexity of testing have evolved dramatically. Today, testing is no longer just about verifying code—it’s about ensuring the resilience, scalability, and intelligence of AI-powered embedded systems, IoT-based infrastructures, and dig
