AI is becoming part of testing workflows — but most teams are still working out how to apply it responsibly and effectively. This event brings together those different perspectives — not as a single solution, but as practical approaches from teams working through similar challenges. Who Should Attend • QA & Quality Engineering Leaders • Automation Engineers & SDETs • Software Engineers working with AI-enabled systems • DevOps, platform, and delivery teams • Software Development Engineers in Test Sessions & Speakers • Steven Wong, Senior Solutions Engineer from UiPath Agentic Testing – What, Why, How? • Libin Lu, Software Test Analyst from Australian Medical Council Co-speaker: Nishat Ara Alam, Full Stack Developer from Australian Medical Council UX-First Testing: How Human-Centric Design Improves Automation Outcomes • Alejandro Sánchez-Giraldo, Head of Observability and Engineering Quality from DX1 Zero Trust for AI Agents: LLM Observability in Practice Panel Discussion Topic: Navigating the Next Wave: How AI, Sustainability, and Human-Centered Design Are Redefining Quality Assurance With leaders • Asma Sikandar Gulbaz, Director from Slalom, • Mandy Khosla, QA & Testing Practice Manager from MinterEllison, • Prakasha Reddy\, Vice President – Testing Business Unit Head \| Driving QA Excellence & Digital Transformation from Test Yantra Global\, • Paul Maxwell-Walters, Senior QA Engineer from Droneshield, and • Ross Piggott, Head of Quality Engineering from The Star Entertainment Group What You’ll Explore • Agentic Testing — where it fits, and where it doesn’t • UX-first testing — how design thinking impacts automation outcomes • Observability for AI systems — understanding behavior, not just results Why This Event Matters: Because the shift in testing isn’t happening in one direction. It’s happening across the following: • How automation is designed • How AI systems are validated • How teams build confidence in outcomes And most teams are still figuring out what works for their context. If you’re exploring these areas – or planning to – this is a useful space to hear how others are approaching it
