## Resource

In this episode, host Michael Bernzweig interviews Khurram Mir, CMO and founder of Kualitatem and Kualitee, about how quality engineering is changing in the AI era. Khurram explains why traditional QA—built as a late‑stage gate for waterfall releases—can’t handle today’s rapid deployment cycles and AI‑enabled systems. He shows how to shift testing left, embed quality across the SDLC, and use generative AI for test case generation, synthetic data, self‑healing automation, and smarter defect analysis so quality becomes a growth enabler instead of a release bottleneck.
