What stops AI from replacing QA testers completely?

AI executes brilliantly but can't invent the right tests—like missing slow networks or user confusion—without human guidance on what matters.

Use platforms like BugBoard—generate cases from bugs, review before commit, slash time while catching more real breaks.
