AI-Powered QA in Regulated Industries: What Worked, What Failed & Key Takeaways
As a QA professional with over 10 years of experience in banking and insurance sectors, I've navigated the complex challenge of integrating AI into testing workflows while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. This article shares practical lessons from real projects, highlighting successful strategies, critical mistakes, and actionable frameworks that project managers can apply when adopting AI in regulated environments.
