From Ground Truth to Confident Decisions: Moving Fast with AI Evals

AI teams face a constant tension: move quickly, but have enough evidence to trust what they’re shipping. Evaluations can help, but their usefulness depends on the examples we choose, the judgments we trust, and how clearly we connect results to decisions.

This session explores how to build reliable ground truth, combine LLM judges with human review, and translate evaluation findings into decisions to launch, iterate, or investigate further. Drawing on practical experience leading AI evaluation programs, I’ll discuss how to establish a baseline, handle disagreement, and decide when the evidence is sufficient to move forward, even when uncertainty remains.

Key Takeaways:
  • Build representative ground truth datasets using clear criteria and human review.
  • Combine automated evaluations and human judgment to identify meaningful quality gaps.
  • Translate evaluation results into explicit launch, iterate, or stop decisions.
  • Move quickly by distinguishing uncertainty that needs investigation from uncertainty that can be managed through experimentation and monitoring.

She is a strong advocate for distributed governance, responsible AI practices, and the evolution of Quality Engineering into a strategic business partnership.

Mapping the QA Tools Ecosystem

The QA toolbox is ever-growing—but which tools do what, and where do they fit in the testing lifecycle? In this session, Petronio will guide us through the major categories of QA tools, with examples from automation, performance, and test management.


Whether you’re starting out in QA or leading a quality team, this map will help you connect the dots between tools and strategy.

Key Takeaways:
  • QA tools overview
  • Test automation tools
  • Performance testing tools
  • Test management tools
