Are AI tools really helping developers, or are they creating more problems than they solve?
In this episode of Test Case Scenario, Jason Baum, Marcus Merrel, and Evelyn Coleman are joined by Titus Fortner, Senior Solutions Architect at Sauce Labs, to unpack the surprising findings from the latest DORA report. Together, they dive into the unexpected decline in productivity following AI adoption and discuss the challenges developers face in balancing automation, innovation, and collaboration.
You’ll also hear their thoughts on the future of software development, the risks of over-relying on AI, and how teams can rethink their strategies to fully harness the potential of these powerful tools.
