**Session: The Future of QA in the Age of AI**
AI is rapidly transforming software development — and quality assurance is feeling the shift. From AI-assisted testing tools to intelligent bug triage and automated decision-making, the promise is clear: faster delivery, fewer repetitive tasks, and more efficient testing cycles. But beneath the surface lies a critical question: What does this mean for the people behind quality?
Many QA professionals are facing real questions: Will AI replace my role? Where do I still add value? What should I focus on next? The real problem isn't the technology — it's how we use it, where we place trust and how we redefine the value of QA in this new context.
In this talk, we’ll explore:
How AI is actually being used in real-world testing — what it does well, where it fails and why we must not blindly trust its output
How to use AI responsibly in day-to-day testing workflows
Why critical thinking, human judgment and contextual awareness are more important than ever
When AI is useful — and when it’s risky to rely on it
How QA can evolve to own quality outcomes, not just test execution
Why quality is still a human responsibility — and how testers can lead in upholding it
Through practical examples and familiar QA scenarios, we’ll examine how testers can stay relevant, future-ready and centered — even as tools change around us. This session encourages a mindset shift: AI isn’t the end of QA — it’s an invitation to lead differently.

Passionate about building quality cultures, empowering teams, and solving complex challenges with practical, people-centered solutions.
With a decade of experience in Quality Engineering, I’ve evolved from hands-on testing into leading cross-functional teams, shaping test strategies, and driving continuous improvement. My focus: making sure quality isn’t just a phase but a mindset shared across the entire development lifecycle.

Improving

Hello Testers,
With great pleasure, we announce the upcoming event of our
#TTTribeCast Webinar series , “Securing LLMs: Insights into OWASP top 10” by Maryia Tuleika ( Quality Engineering Lead at Regent AB ) .

**When is it happening?**
16th May 2025 \| Friday \| 3 PM CET

**What will Maryia speak about:**
"What if I told you that you can trick an LLM into revealing secrets, making bad choices or even acting against its own rules? AI may seem like a black box, but when you start testing it like any other system, surprising weaknesses start to appear.

The good news? You don’t need to reinvent the wheel to test AI. Strong system thinking, traditional testing techniques, and a critical mindset are already powerful tools for uncovering vulnerabilities. The same skills used to break and improve software (like exploratory testing, risk analysis, extensive logging and monitoring) can help make AI systems safer and more predictable."

**About [Maryia Tuleika](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryia-tuleika/)** :
Maryia is a Quality Engineering Leader with a strong focus on backend testing and embedded systems. She leads testing initiatives, drives education programs and actively contributes to the Swedish testing community. As a mentor, speaker and content creator on LinkedIn, she helps new test professionals build their skills and confidence.
With experience spanning multiple industries, she brings a broad perspective on testing, prioritization and risk-based decision-making. She believes that great testing is about both technical excellence and knowing when to step back, think critically and enjoy the process.
