Another aspect discussed in TMMM not present in this summary is the possible benefits of AI.
Brooks says there can be some gains, but no silver bullet :)
- As a Testing Agent that learns how the system behave and how to test it as the developers interact with the agent.
- As a tutor, junior can learn from the knowledge of experts by interacting with the AI.
- For "automatic" programming when the problem is characterized by few parameters, when there are many known solutions and good knowledge to select the correct solution.
So far I've read about tutoring and automatic programming, but I haven't read about how to use AI to learn about the system and generate tests.
