When the Demo Works But Production Fails: Leading Quality in the AI Era

In today’s rapidly evolving development landscape, quality leadership faces unprecedented challenges as AI integration makes applications increasingly non-deterministic.

The Generative AI Revolution A Compass for Test Leaders Through Change

In today’s ever-evolving tech landscape, anticipating and adapting to change is not just a skill—it’s a necessity for test leaders, especially with the rise of Generative AI. As projects face immediate market pressures from investors and endure heightened scrutiny from an increasingly skeptical customer base, test leaders must navigate not only technological disruptions but also significant business pressures. With Generative AI fundamentally reshaping traditional project models and development processes, the role of a test leader is evolving faster than ever. Rob Sabourin, with over forty years of experience….

GenAI-assisted Test Automation

Generative AI can be used to create content such as text, images, or even code, and it finds applications in many different areas. GenAI is also a tool that can assist us with test automation. Like any other tool, the value of GenAI comes not just from its intrinsic properties but from how we use it, where we use it, the context, and so on. In this talk, I will share some of my experiences with GenAI-assisted test automation. We will explore several effective ways to leverage GenAI in test automation, identify areas where it can accelerate our work, and examine other areas where it may be less useful. We’ll also discuss why it is essential to have a human-centered approach, with humans leading the activity and being in the driver seat…. Read More

Panel Discussion: AI in Testing and Tech: Separating Hype from Reality

There’s no shortage of buzz about AI revolutionizing Software Engineering and Testing – but how much of this is a current reality, a possible near-future reality, and how much is just hype?

Panelists will try cutting through the noise to discuss where AI is genuinely adding value and where expectations have outpaced reality. The session will cover the capabilities and limitations of the current stage of ‘AI…Read More

Fireside Chat: AI Revolution in QA: Today’s State and Tomorrow’s Possibilities

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quality Assurance (QA) is redefining how organizations approach software testing and quality engineering. As leaders responsible for organizational QA, navigating this transformation requires a blend of strategic foresight, technological acumen, and leadership agility.

Join this fireside chat to explore how AI is revolutionizing QA, from predictive analytics and autonomous testing to intelligent test automation and defect prevention. We will discuss the evolving role of QA leaders in harnessing AI-driven insights, building high-performing QE teams, and driving a culture of continuous quality. Gain valuable perspectives on balancing AI adoption with human expertise, managing risks, and preparing for the future of AI-led quality engineering.
