A day of AI sparks

19 Jun 2026


I attended a conference on AI in testing today, and I walked out with more ideas, questions, and energy than I came in with.

Every session was an eye-opener — a chance to step into how others are thinking about AI’s impact on their organisations and the QA space.
Two threads I’m still chewing on: the PwC walkthrough on the difference between using AI for testing and testing AI itself — so much to learn there. And the session on BDD, which gave me real confidence that the path I’m on with AI is a progressive one.

Grateful to the speakers, the organisers, and everyone I traded ideas with. This is the kind of spark that makes the work exciting — now to dive deeper
