Keywords:
Agile Development, Quality Assurance, Predictive Analytics, AI Metrics, Continuous Feedback, Software Testing, Defect Prediction, DevOps, Agile QA AutomationAbstract
The dynamic nature of Agile software development has elevated the need for advanced, proactive Quality Assurance (QA) mechanisms. This paper explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in predictive quality assurance within Agile frameworks, focusing on the role of AI-driven metrics and continuous feedback systems. Through comprehensive literature analysis, this research identifies key advancements in automated defect prediction, real-time feedback loops, and performance analytics. The paper presents a structured synthesis of empirical findings, highlighting how AI technologies redefine QA from reactive to predictive and continuous assurance. By leveraging AI's capacity for real-time data analysis, pattern recognition, and learning from historical data, teams can achieve significantly improved software quality, reduced time-to-market, and optimized development workflows.
