QE at Enterprise Scale - What Will a QE Org Look Like in 2027?
Every quality organization is being redesigned around AI, but few leaders will say out loud what that means for teams, titles, and careers. This panel puts senior QE leaders on the record about the org chart of 2027: the roles they are hiring for that did not exist two years ago, the honest future for manual and exploratory testers, the places where agents created headcount instead of cutting it, and what breaks first when a quality organization scales. Expect candid answers about budgets, skills, and structure rather than safe predictions about tools.
