LLMs as Test Engineers: Rethinking How We Validate Automation Systems

Large Language Models aren’t just revolutionizing how we build software – they’re redefining how we test it.

Join us at The Test Tribe’s 3rd Seattle Meetup for an eye-opening session led by Prasad Yacham, where we’ll explore how LLMs (Large Language Models) are transforming the role of QA and automation validation. This talk goes beyond hype, offering a practical perspective on how AI can act as a test engineer-shaping smarter test strategies, rethinking validation, and boosting system reliability.

Key Takeaways:
  • How AI is shaping the future of test automation
  • The impact of AI-driven tools on efficiency and scalability
  • Real-world insights into AI adoption in QA at scale
  • Strategies for leveraging AI to enhance test automation

Session #1

Prasad Yacham

Senior Software Development Engineer Amazon

Passionate about building innovative solutions that enhance product quality, streamline testing, and improve system resiliency. I specialize in developing automation frameworks using Java (Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, Jenkins, Maven, Gradle) and Python for backend and API automation. With experience in machine learning, I design predictive maintenance pipelines to anticipate robotic failures. Constantly exploring emerging technologies, I thrive on driving efficiency, automation, and smart solutions.

Shift Left in SDLC: Transforming Software Quality from Day One

Many teams still find defects late in development, leading to delays, rework, and higher costs. The Shift Left approach helps prevent this by integrating testing earlier in each phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

​In this session, we’ll break down the SDLC stages—Requirement Analysis, Design, Development, Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance—and explore how Shift Left testing can be applied at each step. From early test planning and static code analysis to unit testing, API testing, and continuous testing in CI/CD, we’ll cover practical strategies that help teams catch defects early and release with confidence.

​With real-world case studies and actionable insights, this talk will show how developers, testers, and managers can collaborate to build quality from the start—resulting in faster releases, fewer bugs, and a smoother SDLC process.

Key Takeaways:
  • Understanding what an API is, the main HTTP methods used and their purposes

  • Creating a collection in Postman, exploring organisational features for better API test management

  • Understanding how and when to use variables to make tests more dynamic and reusable, including the use of random data

  • Exploring features for automating tests in Postman

  • Learning how to use artificial intelligence to conduct tests in Postman

  • Discovering the documentation feature in Postman, which allows for the automatic generation of test documentation

  • Using Newman to automate test execution and generate detailed reports.
