Will AI replace automation testers?
In marketing/sales automation, the "testing" role — validating that email sequences fire correctly, workflows route to the right owner, tracking pixels function — is being augmented by AI, not replaced. AI can generate synthetic test scenarios and check outputs faster than manual QA, but the judgment about what's worth testing and what constitutes correct behavior remains human. The role is shifting from executing tests to designing them.
