Talk Description

This Ministry of Testing London's first event, hosted by Robbie Falck, explores the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence and software testing professionals. 

This fantastic group of panellists discussed whether AI serves as a collaborator enhancing testers' capabilities or poses a threat to traditional testing roles. The conversation covered the integration of AI into testing workflows, the necessity for testers to adapt and acquire new skills, and the potential for AI to automate repetitive tasks, allowing human testers to focus on more complex, value-driven activities.

Learning Outcomes

  • Learn how AI technologies can complement and enhance the work of human testers rather than replace them
  • Discover why continuous learning is essential for testers to keep pace with AI and other emerging technologies
  • Explore ways to integrate AI-driven automation while maintaining the critical thinking and contextual understanding that human testers provide
