**Talks**
*1) The AI Gateway Pattern: Adopt AI and Multi-LLM strategies in a Secure and Governable Way* \- Steve Pyer\, Senior Solutions Engineer\, Kong

The AI Gateway Pattern enables organizations to adopt and securely govern AI technologies like large language models (LLMs) at scale. Acting as a centralized control plane, it streamlines data flow into AI models, ensures proper data handling and compliance, and simplifies the management of multiple LLMs. This architectural pattern empowers organizations to leverage AI's strengths while mitigating risks, maintaining performance, and adapting to evolving technologies.

*2) A Skeptic's Guide to Generative AI in the SDLC* \- Marcus Merrell\, Testing Strategist\, Sauce Labs

Hallucinations, non-deterministic results, and continents' worth of energy consumption--these problems have no real solution. We're stuck with them. What if a 30% productivity gain is as good as we get? The real question is, how can we factor these uncertainties into the productivity gains we get from the tools? I will cover the promises, the realities, and the current/future states of Generative AI. We will acknowledge the unmovable realities getting in the way of the unstoppable fantasies, and help you separate the grift from the benefits.

7 - 7:10 pm (UTC+2): Intro

7:10 - 8:00 pm (UTC+2): Going From Zero to 2,000 Automated Tests At A Startup (Dennis Martinez)

**Going From Zero to 2,000 Automated Tests At A Startup**
Startups have to move fast if they want to survive, but that speed often comes at the expense of quality. As someone who's worked at startups for over 20 years, I frequently see less time spent on testing on these teams. But what about not having any automated testing processes while struggling to launch? In this talk, I'll share how I helped a startup quickly establish a solid testing foundation for their soon-to-be-launched product to get them to deliver a high-quality application and the journey we went through to get from zero automated test cases to over 2,000 in a few months without sacrificing speed or quality.

8:00 - 8:15 pm (UTC+2) - Q&A - Open Discussion

**a11y: The Antidote to k6 browser False Positives; John Hill, Web UI Test Engineer, KBR**

Friday. 5:01pm. Alarm bells ringing from the "search tests" in prod. One hour later, the root cause was due to the front end team changing a classname. All too common in the realm of k6 browser performance tests and synthetic monitoring, underscores the fragile balance between test accuracy and application changes. Our discussion begins by showcasing this very challenge, followed by an exploration of the limitations inherent in the Page Object Model, traditionally used in QA testing. The presentation shifts focus towards a forward-thinking resolution: the adoption of web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG) a11y standards in test locator logic. This method not only addresses the initial problem but champions accessibility, enriching user experience across the board. Attendees will be guided through the practical application of a11y WCAG standards, complete with demonstrations illustrating how this approach revitalizes the reliability and stability of both kó browser performance tests and synthetic user monitoring, ensuring tests remain resilient amidst Ul changes.
