An AI-Partnered Testing Future—It’s Here!
Let’s be real, we are quite a ways out from AI taking over the world. AI doomsday apologists stay home! On the other hand, AI is changing everything about software creation. In this presentation, Kevin Pyles will take you on a walk down memory lane through waterfall, agile and DevOps practices, and will then introduce you to the future of software creation known as AI-Partnered Development. Let’s get practical with real-world examples of AI assisting designers, solving coding challenges and testing software right next to human testers. We will explore how AI is also involved today in predictive monitoring and recovery. Where it gets even more exciting for us as testers is in AI-Adapted Personalized User Experiences. Yeah, what happens when the AI is allowed to make changes to software on the fly? Indulge yourself in this session and walk away with practical takeaways on how to apply AI now, and prepare yourself for the next wave of AI-Partnered software experiences.
