Session #1: **Going Back to Basics in An AI world: Designing , Writing and Executing tests**
Designing, writing, and executing tests are the core pillars of a tester’s contribution, regardless of whether there’s a dedicated testing phase or not. Testers add value by deeply understanding the product and exploring its behavior through structured test design techniques, flowcharts, mental models, and risk-based coverage. Writing concise, impactful test plans using shorthand and references keeps testing lean and effective. During execution, session-based testing helps track progress while enabling focused exploration and detailed reporting. These skills define the real craft of testing. Further learning can be found through key books, blogs, and practitioners who continue to push the discipline forward.

##### **Key Takeaways**

1. Good test design starts with mapping, modeling, and using smart coverage techniques.
2. Writing short, clear test plans beats bloated docs—clarity and purpose win.
3. Execution thrives on structured exploration—session-based testing keeps it focused and insightful.

LLM and Chatbot Testing | Mumbai Meetup

**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.

* Date: May 14, 2025 (Wednesday)
* Time: 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM CET
* Location: Clark Germany GMBH, Wilhelm-Leuschner-Straße 17-19, 60329 Frankfurt am Main

**Speaker: Sohaila Morsy \|Test Manager \| Quality Advocate \| Team Enabler**

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.
Whether it's scaling test practices, mentoring QA talent, or streamlining delivery pipelines, I thrive where people, process, and quality meet. I focus on helping teams scale quality practices that are thoughtful, sustainable and built for long-term success.
