Intelligent automation technologies ranging from RPA to Machine Learning to Artificial Intelligence are rapidly shaping every aspect of business process management and software delivery lifecycle. A digital workforce powered by these disruptors can very well be the norm of software testing in the near future. What does it mean for the current business models, specialist skill enablement, and effective leadership?

As organisations start embracing Agile and the evolution of technology the need and focus on automation has increased. The Testing we know is shifting right and the skills required too are changing. Do we think the Tester we know as a of today will be able to exist and evolve with the times. Are we ready for what is coming?

Demonstration of applications which are based on the IoT & Augmented Reality feature.

The nature of applications is morphing with more and more Artificial Intelligence techniques getting employed along with Machine Learning in an endeavor to make the applications scalable and smarter. With the advent of AI code in the Business Logic, it is almost impossible to use the traditional methods of testing to validate cognitive logic or is it ? We would like to explore the possibilities of using traditional (evolved) methods to test Artificially Intelligent code while also looking at vast improvements in creating artificially intelligent automated tests. This will be a good orientation talk for the audience to start thinking about challenges posed by Cognitive Computing.

Ale will be covering the various aspects of the changing trends in the Test Automation space building on his experience @Globant. Ale leads a large team of talented Automation Engineers globally and one of the key responsibilities he has is to have a constant tab on the direction that Test Automation is moving towards. This allows him to plan future trainings, hiring and building expertise in frameworks which will keep his team ahead of the curve. This session will look at how trends have changed rapidly in the last few months to how it could change in the next few. If you are someone who is interested in creating a future in test Automation or are someone who is responsible for your organisations's direction in this regard, then do not miss this !!
