BrowserStack QA Meetup- Kolkata (Aug 29)

Testing AI Systems & The QA Mindset in the AI Era 🤖

AI is changing how software is built, tested, and shipped. But testing AI-powered applications comes with a new set of challenges—from unpredictable outputs and hallucinations to evaluating RAG systems and deciding what "good" actually looks like.

Join the BrowserStack Kolkata QA Meetup on 29 August for an engaging morning of practical insights, real-world lessons, and conversations with fellow QA professionals.

🎤 Featured Sessions
Testing AI Systems: Challenges and Best Practices
Explore practical approaches to evaluating AI-driven applications, handling non-deterministic outputs, and building effective test strategies for RAG-based systems.
QA Mindset in the AI Era
How does QA change when software stops behaving deterministically?
This session explores the shift toward probabilistic validation, new defect classes such as hallucinations, bias, and drift, AI-assisted testing, prompt evaluation, data literacy, and the continued importance of human oversight.
