Why
Back to work, the QA activity was in the process to be almost fully automatized. By automatized, I mean that the manual test steps are litteraly turned into automatic test steps. While this might be an interresting project, I don't think that this activity is for me since it usually does not involve a global re-think of the test process.
On the other hand, a new technical revolution is on its way.
"Artificial Intelligence is the new electricity" says Pr Andrew NG (Stanford University).
