Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming an accepted means of accelerating software engineering and testing activities. Many organizations have already integrated AI into their software development lifecycle, and the demand for AI-assisted engineering continues to grow year over year. A key motivating factor behind the demand is the promise of increased speed and efficiency through automation. Software testing is a prime candidate for AI acceleration due to the generally high costs and significant manual effort involved in validation and verification. As a result, we are seeing an exponential growth in the application and development of tools to support AI-driven test automation. But what does the adoption of AI-driven automation mean for the future of software testing? Is AI going to replace manual testers and/or test automation engineers? It seems like these questions are quickly growing old and repetitive because no one is providing definitive answers based on practical, real-world analysis. Join industry expert Tariq King as he takes you on a journey into the future of software testing. Tariq firmly believes that AI will take over software testing and permanently transform the quality engineering landscape. He postulates that the future of testing will be focused on evaluating human experiences, including testing digital, physical, and experiential touchpoints. In the age of AI, human experience testing will not just be viewed as a quality assurance function, but as a core component of an organization’s business strategy. Welcome to the future of quality where AI specifies, designs, codes, and tests software, leaving the humans to do the one thing the machines can’t – test the human experience.

Quality isn't a one-off activity or solely the tester's responsibility: it's a sustained practice built collectively within the team. The QPAM (Quality Practices Assessment Model) offers a structured way to review, discuss, and improve how each team approaches quality in its daily work. In this talk, I'll share how to use QPAM as a tool to enhance quality strategies from within the team: by fostering honest conversations about what we do, what we don't do, and why. We'll see how QPAM helps us become aware of the current state of our practices, strengthen collaboration, and promote real improvements, aligned with both the technical needs of the context and the business objectives.

Vivimos un momento de transformación en la industria de banking: tecnología que avanza, fusiones entre bancos y usuarios cada vez más exigentes, Inteligencia Artificial en cada vez más contextos. En este contexto, los equipos de QA enfrentan el desafío de sostener la calidad, adaptarse al cambio y demostrar su valor. En este panel vamos a conversar sobre cómo se vive esa realidad desde adentro: qué decisiones técnicas se toman, cómo se escala calidad en estructuras complejas y qué rol juega QA en la banca de hoy. Panelistas: Natalia Higueret, Ruben Aguirre, Silvina Miranda y Mehran Nazar. Modera Cecilia Benassi

Estamos viviendo la era de la IA, y lógicamente queremos incorporar IA en QA, pero ¿realmente sabemos cómo sacarle provecho? En esta charla quiero abrir una conversación honesta sobre las preguntas clave antes de implementar una solución: ¿para qué la queremos?, ¿qué esperamos que nos resuelva?, ¿cómo sabemos si está funcionando? También voy a contar algunos ejemplos reales y desafíos que me encontré en el camino. La idea no es hablar de herramientas, sino de cómo usar la IA con criterio, con foco y con propósito… no solo porque está de moda.

A QA professional's life can be compared to a video game: advancing levels, facing challenges, and defeating monsters and bosses. Just like in RPGs, each person gains experience, skills, tools, and allies to tackle challenges in their work, finances, and personal life. This talk will be full of power-ups, extra lives, and levels to learn. Get ready to level up and conquer your professional life like a true QA hero!

Artificial intelligence is redefining testing: it accelerates tasks, enhances skills, and enables the delivery of high-quality value in less time. In this talk, I will present concrete metrics to measure this impact and communicate it clearly to decision-makers. I will also share real-world examples of functional testers scaling their contributions with AI and how to support this change process. We will also discuss how to start with low risk, activating results from the very first use. This talk is designed for quality leaders, evolving testers, and organizations seeking frictionless transformation.

¿Y si el backlog hablara? ¿Y si tu IDE pudiera entender el contexto, escribir tests, sugerir edge cases y ayudarte a testear software sin perder el foco? Siempre se alude a la falta de tiempo y de conocimientos técnicos para comenzar a automatizar pruebas. En esta charla te enseñaré a salir de esa espiral de la muerte sin necesidad de ser un experto, te mostraré cómo automatizar pruebas de manera AI-First usando los MCP Server de Playwright y GitHub, todo orquestado por IDEs agénticos y potenciado mediante robustas reglas de pre-prompting que evitarán que caigas en la alucinación usual.

In this talk, we will address the value of data as a key tool for making objective decisions in the field of quality. We will see how well-defined indicators not only allow us to detect deviations and opportunities for improvement, but also strengthen discussions by providing concrete evidence to support our actions.
