Smarter testing with a little help from AI

Testing today is more than just writing or running test cases. It is about making life easier for a tester and finding smarter ways to get things done. In this session we will look at how some of these ideas can be put to use in real work.

• How modern tools can cut down the boring parts of planning and coverage

• How to spot gaps that usually slip through

• A live demo of Gen AI in action for testers

• A short quiz to keep it fun

• What this means for us at Photon and the opportunities ahead

If you are a manual tester, an automation tester, or just curious to see how Gen AI can lend a hand, this session is for you.

Key Takeaways

1. Attendees will be able to get the locators of Mobile & Web Applications very quickly

2. Attendees will know how to quickly create Rest Assured based Java Test cases just on the basis of YAML Files.

Think outside the Testing Pyramid

I’ve seen testing, especially end to end testing, done wrongly over the years, and sadly I often see the same anti-patterns repeated over and over. so I thought it would be worthwhile to share my thoughts on this complex topic.
