AI-accelerated delivery changes how you test: faster cycles, higher integration complexity, and a bigger blast radius when things go wrong. Start by shortlisting partners who can operate API-first, keep UI checks lean, and prove value quickly with transparent metrics and disciplined governance. The best software testing services will demonstrate deterministic data and environment practices (factories/snapshots and ephemerals), non-functional “rails” (performance, accessibility, security) wired into release gates, and dashboards that track DRE, defect leakage, flake rate, MTTR, and time-to-green. Ask for a 30-day pilot plan targeting two money paths, a slim but resilient UI smoke, and weekly KPI deltas. Insist on…
