I care about QA jobs for humans. In a world going crazy over AI hype, this framework isn't built to replace testers—it’s built to elevate QA engineers into Scenario Architects who design execution spaces no plain AI can figure out on its own.</p> <h1> automation #testing #softwareengineering #qa #computerscience #aievals #devops </h1> automation testing computerscience tools
