​Sessions on AI in Testing: Gen AI, Agents & More | 1st Dubai Meetup

IDS Business Center

Boost QA with AI-driven Green Testing to cut waste, speed releases, and raise quality, designed for pros chasing sustainable, high-impact results.

Software testing plays a crucial role in delivering high-quality products - but it also comes with a growing environmental cost. Large enterprises routinely run **5,000–10,000 nightly test cases**, consuming **12–24 hours**, while weekly cycles often exceed **60,000 test cases**, spanning multiple days.

​Nearly **50% of testing resources** are often spent on redundant or low-priority tests, leading to wasted compute, energy consumption, and unnecessary infrastructure load. ​**Green Testing** represents a shift toward *smarter, more sustainable testing practices*. By integrating **Artificial Intelligence (AI)** into the testing lifecycle, organizations can analyze code changes, prioritize relevant test cases, eliminate redundant runs, and dramatically reduce resource consumption - *all while maintaining or improving quality outcomes*.

​This approach not only cuts waste and speeds up releases, but also aligns tech organizations with **global sustainability goals**, proving that quality engineering and eco-conscious innovation can go hand in hand.

​**Date:** 29th January 2026 (Thursday)
**Time:** 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM PST
**Venue:** *1631 N First St Suite 200*
