Agentic AI & the Next Decade of Quality Engineering
Watch the recording
Watch on YouTubeThis talk examines how AI is reshaping the SDLC by absorbing mechanical, repetitive work and shifting engineering effort toward higher-order judgment: architecture decisions, system-level integration, risk tradeoffs, and determining what's worth building in the first place.
As AI evolves, Quality Engineering is seeing a shift to fully autonomous processes. How should we manage AI in order to get the best value and maximize its benefits, and what are the risks and potential pitfalls that one should avoid?
Key Takeaways:
The evolution of Quality Engineering from testing to intelligent, autonomous systems.
Why Agentic AI is set to redefine the future of Quality Engineering.
The skills and mindset quality professionals need for the next decade.
