Maslow's Hammer and Three Lies QA Tells Itself

This article discusses the anxiety in QA/testing conferences as AI accelerates development and QA teams face downsizing. It identifies three common but flawed responses: 'the golden age of QA is coming' (AI mistakes will require more manual testers), 'the SDLC will crumble without testing' (major incidents will force caution), and 'things will stay the same' (AI won't change QA work). The author argues these are lies born from over-specialization and reliance on familiar methods, citing Maslow's Hammer. The piece critiques narrow-minded thinking and urges testers to adapt rather than cling to outdated assumptions.
