Noel: So when I think of AI and machine learning in the software testing industry, I envision people using it to take care of things the same way we think about test automation: something we use for functional testing. But when I read a blog you wrote, titled, "AI-driven Functional Testing," it got into how we might also be able to use AI for exploratory testing, which I had not seen anyone write or talk about before. I'm really curious about the word "driven" in that title and wanted to get you to maybe expand a bit on how AI can be used to not just "aid" your functional test efforts, but really "drive" them.
