The QA Revolution: How AI Is Rewriting the Rules of Software Quality (feat. Tanvi Mittal)

There’s a quiet crisis unfolding inside software engineering teams everywhere. Code is being written faster than ever — in some cases, features that once took weeks now take a single day. But here’s the uncomfortable question nobody is asking loudly enough: who’s checking the work?

Tanvi Mittal (GitHub) has spent over 15 years in software quality — starting as a developer, moving into test automation, and now sitting at the sharp edge of a field being fundamentally reshaped by AI. In a recent conversation on the Snowpal Podcast, she offered a candid, street-level view of what’s actually happening inside engineering teams today.
