After watching this talk, you’ll be able to write smarter and more comprehensive tests in Java using Property-based Testing - and catch bugs you didn’t even know existed at a fraction of the effort

A panel discussion exploring how AI is really affecting engineering teams today, from tool adoption and team confidence to testing, leadership, and the risk of over-relying on automation.

James Pearce shares a practical framework for testing AI products by making them more verifiable, measuring risk clearly, and learning safely from production.

Preeti Gupta explains how teams can adopt AI in test automation while keeping human judgement, ownership, and quality at the centre.

Nick Pykett argues that AI is most useful in testing when it works within structured, step-based frameworks that preserve human control.

Reduce repeat-prompting overhead by building reusable skills for recurring workflows, cutting task time from a full day down.

Madhuri Mittal shares how a career pause and motherhood reshaped her into a more resilient, empathetic, and adaptable tester.

A panel discussion exploring how AI gains in silos can break feedback loops, shift bottlenecks downstream, and make quality harder to manage at scale.

Stop treating quality as a final gate and start using these practical, field-tested rituals to bake reliability into your product from the very first idea.

See where AI genuinely helps, where it doesn’t, and how testers can stay firmly in control
