Unknown unknowns in the future for Testing (brought to light)
About Topic
A lot of things are changing with A.I. irrespective of which side of the world we are in. Many things we were doing pre- A.I. is no longer applicable to the future and yet we drag our present to the future.
This is what we have been doing across many other things too. Not just in testing. This is how humans operate. They drag their past to their present and future. Hence, it is not a surprise they are doing the same in Testing.
However there are unknown unknowns that are important to bring to light. How can we know what is an unknown unknown? Doesn’t it defeat the purpose of calling it that way the moment we bring it to light? Unknown to many and known to a few. By bringing it to light there’s a chance of more people thinking and solving it. That is the goal of this talk.
Are you keen to solve problems only known to a few? Is that how you want to make your life exciting? Come for this talk. Get invited.
Rahul unravels these questions and more, guiding you through the path where clarity unfolds itself. Through a real-world case study, he will illustrate how GenAI can be leveraged meaningfully, emphasizing how understanding and restraint are key to sifting through the noise and seeing the obvious with renewed eyes. This keynote is a call to embrace both simplicity and innovation, to cut through the illusions, and to navigate the path where GenAI is not just noise, but a genuine part of the testing story.
Key Takeaways
1. Innovation creates noise, making obvious truths harder to see.
2. Question if a problem really needs GenAI or if existing tools suffice.
3. Understand GenAI’s true value beyond the hype.
4. Old and new solutions should complement, not replace, each other.
5. A real-world case study shows how GenAI can be used effectively.
6. Clarity comes from cutting through illusions and embracing simplicity.
