Overview
AI isn’t coming—it’s already here, and it’s rewriting what it means to be a tester.

In this interactive session, we’ll build a real automation suite using agentic AI, showcasing how modern testers can leverage AI tools without deep coding skills. We’ll explore top AI solutions, workflow engines, and emerging agent frameworks, while addressing security, privacy, and the critical “when not to use AI” scenarios.

You’ll gain actionable strategies for transitioning your role—from manual tester to AI co-pilot, prompt engineer, or test orchestrator.

Expect a raw reality check, but also a clear roadmap. If you don’t evolve, you risk becoming obsolete—but with the right toolkit, there’s massive opportunity ahead.

This isn’t just about automation—it’s about reinvention!

About Robert Jakech
I am Robert. Uganda gave me roots, Australia gave me wings. As a tester who's witnessed technology's transformative waves across continents, I've learned that adaptation isn't optional—it's survival.

My mission: sharing experiences to help fellow testers navigate from AI skeptics to AI orchestrators. The wave is here—I don't have all the answers, but I'm eager to share what I've learned and continue growing together. Your experiences may teach me as much as mine might help you.

Let's ride this AI wave together—not as experts with all the answers, but as curious explorers mapping new territory for our testing community.
