All businesses are looking for ways to streamline their processes, boost efficiency, and ultimately save money. And AI has become the go-to solution for many of these challenges.

But, while the AI boom has seen some, shall we say, mixed results, software testing and AI are one area that continues to offer one of the best returns on investment. 

At Virtuoso, we deliver quality-first automated software testing, and here are some of the key reasons we believe that investing in AI automated testing is a no-brainer. 

Speeding Up Your Time to Market

We’re all very familiar with the phrase ‘time is money.’ Nowhere is this more true than in the world of software development, where getting your product to market quickly can make all the difference in determining whether it's a financial success or a financial failure.

Any software developer will be well aware that most projects end up taking a lot longer and costing a lot more than initially planned. Research shows that, on average, companies spend nearly three times their original budget when launching a new project, around 189% more than expected. While projects also take more than three times the estimated time, typically 222% longer than planned.

What makes software testing and AI such a useful investment is how it can speed up the development process while drastically reducing the time it takes to run tests.

Instead of spending hours or even days manually testing your software, AI can automate these tasks, allowing you to bring your product to market faster than ever before. 

Because AI can run tests 24/7, no coffee breaks required, it slashes the time spent on repetitive tasks and helps you meet tight deadlines without breaking a sweat, when applied correctly.

Fewer Specialists, More Collaboration

Reliable software testing has always required a team of highly specialized QA engineers who were often tasked with manually going through each part of the software to identify bugs. This can get expensive fast.

With AI-powered testing in place, that’s no longer the case. AI handles the heavy lifting for you, automating much of the work that used to take hours of manual labor.

The best part? AI testing tools are becoming so user-friendly with low-code/no-code solutions that are so simple that even the most non-techy team members can run tests. So now you don't need to hire a team of coding experts to get the job done right.

This means you can still maintain high-quality standards with a QA team that’s more collaborative and less siloed in their skillset and the impact they have on the project.

AI Testing = Excellent ROI

Investing in AI-powered testing isn’t just about saving time. It's about maximizing value and delivering a proven return on investment. 

But don’t just take our word for it, try our free ROI calculator and see the numbers for yourself. 

AI tools offer significant long-term savings by reducing labor costs, speeding up testing cycles, and increasing accuracy, all of which add up to more efficient and cost-effective projects.

What’s even better is that AI tools continuously improve. As they analyze more tests and data, they become smarter and more efficient, delivering even greater value as your project grows. 

They seamlessly integrate into CI/CD pipelines, providing real-time feedback and catching bugs instantly as new code is deployed, which is great news for developers. 

This fast feedback loop keeps your project on track, avoiding costly delays and ensuring smoother progress. Essentially AI helps you achieve more with less, and who doesn't want that?

Even the Big Players Are on Board

You know something’s working when the big names in tech start pouring investment into it. Companies like Google, Microsoft, and others have spent more than $100 billion this year investing in AI infrastructure. 

Why? Because they know how AI can help them release better, more reliable products faster than ever before. If AI is good enough for the top tech companies, it’s definitely worth a closer look for your business, too.

Why AI Automation is the Smart Move

At the end of the day, software testing and AI automation are smart, reliable investments. It reduces your time to market, cuts costs, and improves product quality. 

Plus, with AI handling the grunt work, your team can focus on what really matters: delivering innovative, high-quality products that customers love.

If you haven’t explored AI for your software testing yet, now’s the time. It’s a move that will save you money, streamline your processes, and give your business a competitive edge.
