Excel isn’t a process, and not all ‘intelligence’ is smart

Tahvili, Sahar and Borg, Markus LU (2025) In IEEE Software 42(4). p.11-14
Abstract
The relationship between requirements engineering and testing has been a key interest throughout my research career. It cannot be that requirements engineers are from Omicron Persei 7 and testers from Omicron Persei 9—we all live on the same planet. I’m happy to co-author this column with a former collaborator from a test automation EU project, now a manager at Ericsson. With this issue’s focus on AI-powered testing, we ask: How can we define corresponding tool and process requirements in practice? This column is twofold. First, Sahar shares her experience. Then, we connect her observations to findings from a longitudinal study on tool adoption. Together, the perspectives give a grounded view from the field.
