IT643 — Software Design and Testing

Instructor: Ankush Chander | Institute: DA University

Framing Question

If an AI can write, debug, and refactor code on demand — what is left for a software engineer to do?

This course argues that the scarce skill is shifting from producing code to choosing what to build and judging whether the machine got it right.
