The\u00a0Rise of AI Agents: Agentic AI in Quality Engineering<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

AI is reshaping software testing, but we\u2019re still in the early days of realizing its full potential. Most current \u201cAI in testing\u201d solutions focus on faster execution or smarter suggestions, but there\u2019s a new shift underway – Agentic AI.<\/p>\n

In this talk, we\u2019ll unpack what AI agents truly are\u2014systems designed to perceive their environment, make decisions, and take action autonomously. We\u2019ll break down what \u201cagentic\u201d means in a Quality Engineering context and why this shift from static automation to goal-driven, adaptive testing agents is a game-changer.<\/p>\n

Imagine a testing system that doesn\u2019t just execute scripts but understands your application, identifies risks on its own, heals broken tests, and even recommends new ones\u2014working alongside your team like a proactive virtual assistant. That\u2019s the future we\u2019re moving toward.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll explore key concepts like agentic workflows, multi-agent collaboration, and context-aware testing. You\u2019ll also get a glimpse of practical tools and real-world examples that hint at where this space is headed next. Whether you\u2019re new to AI or already experimenting, this session will inspire you to rethink what\u2019s possible in Quality Engineering and help you prepare for the next evolution in test automation.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32px”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
