The Big Tech Debate #5 | AI in Testing vs Software Quality

We’re back.

This is our first Big Tech Debate of 2026, and we’re kicking things off with fresh energy and a topic that’s already dividing engineering teams.

📍 Cubo, NO. 1, Spinningfields, Manchester M3 3EB

If you’ve been before, you know the format.

Two tech leaders on a stage. No slides. No sales pitches.

This month’s motion

“The Use of AI in Software Testing Prioritises Speed Over Thoroughness, Harming Software Quality.”

AI has made testing faster than ever. But has it actually made software better? Are we improving quality, or just moving quicker with more confidence than evidence?

We’ll put both sides head-to-head and let the room decide.

Expect strong views, good people, and a few lively arguments.

Limited spaces as always. Grab a ticket and join us.
