Introduction

Software testing involves imagination as well as repetition. This developing research note asks where AI might help propose tests, maintain them, and explain quality evidence without becoming its own judge. The design remains provisional while its claims are compared with public research and reproducible experiments.

Research state

This is a research note in development. A complete manuscript is not yet public, and the summary must not be read as a finished paper or validated conclusion.
