The real-world impact of AI in software quality

AI is enabling us to produce code and automate processes faster than we’ve ever dreamed, but it’s also challenging our resources and enabling bad actors.
53% of respondents' code is now AI-generated or AI-assisted
61% of QA teams report significant increases in demand from AI-generated code
Over half of teams are already using AI for detection, but data privacy and integration concerns block progress

Aligning quality and security

Releasing software faster while also reducing risk feels like an impossible balance, but it isn’t. The secret lies in aligning quality and security and building integrated quality operations.
32% of teams have low confidence in scaling QA and security together
Siloed teams, conflicting priorities, and late security involvement are holding teams back
Despite challenges, over 90% of teams see value in aligning quality and security

Teams, tools, and KPIs

While much has changed, some things stay the same: teams are still trying to keep up with evolving threats, do more with fewer resources, and figure out how to measure what matters.
57% of tests are currently automated, with many teams stuck in the ‘middle zone’ of automation maturity
Teams are both prioritizing and struggling with coverage, automation, and scaling delivery
Data breaches, cloud misconfigurations, and AI-related threats are top priorities
