A municipal cat-license tester believes adopting GenAI means stopping test techniques and only clicking “generate.” How does the tester role actually shift?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
GenAI is a power tool, not a pink slip. Testers become AI-assisted specialists—still using techniques, now also guiding and verifying what the model drafts. Replacement is the wrong story.
Full Explanation
With GenAI adoption, testers shift toward AI-assisted test specialists who keep test-technique expertise while guiding and verifying AI-generated testware. A municipal cat-license tester who believes adopting GenAI means stopping test techniques and only clicking “generate” misunderstands the role: the model does not replace technique skill or verification duty. Testers are not replaced by the model and still need technique skill. Pure prompt clerks with no verification duty fail the guide-and-verify expectation. Measuring only neuron coverage of the LLM as the SUT is CT-AI work, not the GenAI-for-testing role shift. Exam caveat: the role is not replacement by the model, not prompt-only work without verification, and not CT-AI SUT measurement of the assistant itself. Operational check: keep cat-license technique skill active and require testers to guide prompts and verify generated packs rather than clicking generate blindly. Keep civic testware subject to the same review discipline you would apply to human-authored packs. On the written exam, prefer syllabus terminology over vendor marketing language or lab choreography. Treat fluent output as a draft until organizational quality gates and data-handling rules are satisfied.
