Risk-Based Testing in the Age of AI: What Changes, What Doesn’t

“Risk-based testing has been her core approach for many years.

She sees strong alignment between risk-based testing and current advances in AI and automation.

AI should not be treated as a replacement for existing testing practices.

Instead, AI acts as a force multiplier for strong testing fundamentals.

The foundation of good testing still includes:

Identifying risks early

Communicating risks clearly across engineering and product teams

Documenting what will and will not be tested within time and cost constraints

These fundamentals are more important than ever because AI tooling has dramatically increased development speed.

AI tooling helps testing in several critical ways, including:

Generating structured and semi-structured test data (similar to tools like Python Hypothesis)

Drafting risk summaries, test matrices, and coverage tables to align teams early

Analyzing UI code (HTML, DOM, selectors) to propose stable test locators

Producing boilerplate automation code that engineers can refine

Helping testers identify and explore non-obvious edge cases

Supporting continuous refinement of risk models as requirements evolve

Assisting testers in documenting their exploratory testing

She can walk through the core risk-based testing method (how teams identify, evaluate, and communicate risk).

She plans to demonstrate how AI tools strengthen each stage of this process without replacing human judgment.”

Key Takeaways:
  • Collaborative Approach: Everyone owns product quality
  • User-Centric Focus: Empathy drives better product decisions
  • Continuous Improvement: Build processes and culture that enable high-quality delivery

Testing in Production: How Automated Tests Can Validate Platform Health in a Live Environment

In this session, we will explore different software testing practices that can be applied in production, such as synthetic testing, covering its concepts, benefits, risks, and strategies. We will discuss how these approaches can enhance software quality by detecting failures in a real environment while also addressing challenges like user impact and security.

Additionally, we will present a real case study on applying automated tests to validate platform health in production, covering the challenges faced, strategies adopted, and the results achieved.

Key Takeaways:
•⁠  Understanding synthetic testing and its role in production environments
•⁠  Benefits and risks of running automated tests in production

•⁠  Real-world case study on implementing automated tests for platform health validation
