Software QA analysts and testers score 52%. Writing test cases, generating test data and reading logs to find out why something failed are all tasks AI tools handle. The irony is that more AI-written code means more code to check. Testing’s future looks less like clicking through scripts and more like designing the checks that keep automated output honest.

How to read this: AI task coverage comes from the Anthropic Economic Index, which measures how people use Claude, not the whole labour market. Job postings data comes from Indeed Hiring Lab and reflects the wording of job ads, not actual AI use at work. Employment and pay are US figures unless stated. AI use is not the same as job loss; our verdict explains what we think it means.
