Reinventing the QE Practice at Global Scale in Agentic Era
Watch the recording
Watch on YouTubeFor two decades, quality engineering at global scale ran on a simple equation: more scope meant more testers. Agentic AI has broken that equation. Delivery leaders are now rebuilding practices around platforms and IP rather than pyramids, shifting from human-led execution to machine-led orchestration with people focused on judgment and oversight - while clients increasingly ask for outcomes rather than effort. This panel brings together QE and digital engineering leaders from the world's leading service organizations to discuss what an agent-first delivery model actually looks like in production: how test factories become agent factories, what the honest career path looks like for a tester inside a practice of thousands, how you govern autonomy across hundreds of very different client environments, and how you prove quality when the work is done by machines and paid for by outcome.
