Closing the gap between speed, quality, and trust in the AI era

In today’s hyper-competitive environment, software delivery is no longer just a technical discipline – it’s a defining factor of business success. Every industry is under pressure to move faster, innovate boldly, and embrace artificial intelligence (AI) as a catalyst for change. Yet, as this research confirms, the race for software development and delivery speed often comes at the expense of overall quality.

Tricentis partnered with Censuswide to understand the challenges facing technology leaders and their teams at this pivotal moment. What we found is a landscape marked by opportunity, but also by imbalance. While advances in AI offer the promise of automation and acceleration in software testing, misalignment around what truly defines high quality in software threatens to stall progress. Read the report to learn:

• What 2,700 technology practitioners and leaders said about the state of software delivery in 2025
• The hidden costs of compromised software quality
• What’s holding teams back, and how they think AI can help
