Better, Faster, Stronger Automation with Asynchronous Test Data

By creating test data asynchronously, it removes the time required to set up test data at the start of each test, while still ensuring accurate, reliable test data.

This way you'll spend less time troubleshooting test failures that are not relevant to the problem at hand, and less time waiting for tests to complete.

Takeaways:
➤ Test data should be unique, accurate, and relevant
➤ Creating this test data can be slow and error prone
➤ By separating test data generation from test execution, we can reduce time and errors from setup.

Code-GenAI: A double-edged sword for Automation

AI-powered code generation is revolutionizing automation, but is it a boon or a bane?

While it promises accelerated scripting and reduced manual effort, this talk highlights the often-overlooked risks: the potential for generating fragile, unoptimized, or error-prone code, over-reliance on AI that stifles tester creativity, and security concerns arising from opaque code generation.

Moreover, the rapid adoption of AI-generated code can lead to accumulating technical debt, with poorly documented, complex, or inconsistent codebases that become harder to maintain over time.

Join this session to learn why code generation AI can hinder quality assurance more than it helps and learn actionable insights to balance innovation with robust testing practice.

Keep an eye out. More sessions will be added soon!
