AI for Software Testing: Beyond Functional Automation
Keynote Speech
The software testing community has readily embraced AI and ML technologies, with many startups and industry practitioners recognizing its potential to transform test automation. During the last decade, we have seen a new wave of AI-based test automation tools. However, most of the focus has been on functional test automation with some performance benchmarking. But where do we go from here with AI for testing? Join Tariq King as he goes beyond functional test automation with AI. Bots are no longer just doing functional testing, they are testing usability, accessibility, trustworthiness, video streaming, and gameplay. Tariq will walk through how AI is being used to tackle these difficult, real-world testing problems commonly thought of as being impossible to automate.
