**Session #1: Boosting Software Testing with AI**
In this talk, we’ll explore the evolution of software testing, from its origins to the present day, and examine how the rapid growth of AI is transforming the industry.
We’ll discuss the shift from manual to automated to AI-driven testing and how AI is reshaping traditional approaches—progressing from Copilot to Agentic to Autonomous testing paradigms.
The session will dive into what’s possible with today’s AI-driven technologies, the challenges they pose, and potential future use cases for hybrid testers.
Finally, we’ll analyze the ever-evolving landscape of testing tools and how AI is accelerating the speed and scope of software testing across diverse scenarios.
**Key Takeaways:**
• The role of Artificial Intelligence in software testing
• How to discern what’s real and what’s overhyped in the testing tools landscape
• The rise of hybrid testers and their role in the future of QA
