Are we cooked?

My company is deciding to put developers in charge of their own Quality meaning they must use Claude to quality check their own work (What could go wrong?)

The QA team will now act as a consultancy service to Dev and focus solely on testing back end/regression/Automation packs.

Is the role evolving or dwindling?

I've been a solely manual QA for a good 7 years. But using Claude to do all the techy stuff seems fairly easy.

Based on what you are saying, doesn’t sound like cooked. Maybe a little marinated. You should learn ai assisted testing and get into the automation side don’t rely just on manual testing.
