AI Testing Talks Webinar (9 July)

Using artificial intelligence (AI) in software testing has become essential for streamlining processes, enhancing efficiency, and enabling organisations to deliver high-quality software products more efficiently. Our webinar series titled ‘AI Testing Talks’ features discussions on AI-related topics exploring various aspects of software testing and AI technology including Generative AI, AI-powered test tools, the impact of AI biases, the role of AI in software testing, and more. The sessions provide you with the opportunity to stay updated on recent tech trends, and discover strategies to improve your current projects with a cutting-edge technology stack.

On 9 July, we held the next session of our 'AI Testing Talks' webinar featuring Richard Seidl, Software Testing Expert and Agile Quality Coach. Richard talked about ‘The Future of Software Quality.’

As AI Testing Talks participants, attendees had the opportunity to engage in the Q&A session, ask questions, and share their thoughts.

The Future of Software Quality

“To develop excellent software today, one must think of the development process holistically: people, methods, tools, and mindset – only when everything works together in harmony can potential and innovation emerge. In a comprehensive development process, quality becomes an attitude of the team. Let's take a look at insights and best practices on how state-of-the-art software testing works, the differences between classical and agile testing, the importance of test automation, and what AI will enable.”
