AI-Assisted Testing: From Prompt to Automation & Testable Design | 7th NA Huddle

AI can turn a plain-English test idea into executable mobile automation. The harder part is making sure the generated test follows team standards, remains reviewable, and still leaves the important decisions with the tester.

At The Test Tribe’s 7th North America Huddle, Srikanth Srinivas will demonstrate an AI-assisted mobile automation workflow using WebdriverIO, Appium, and a real Android device.

The second session looks at a different side of quality engineering. Vinitha Kalappurakkal will share how treating testability as an architectural problem helped reduce a retroactive billing process in a healthcare platform from approximately 72 hours to 3.5 hours while maintaining its quality and financial validation.

## Session 1

Prompt to Passing Test: AI-CLI-Driven Mobile Automation
Speaker: Srikanth Srinivas
Srikanth will demonstrate how an AI command-line assistant can take a plain-English testing idea and turn it into an asserting mobile test using WebdriverIO and Appium, then execute it on a real Android device.

## Session 2

From 72 Hours to 3.5: A Quality-Driven Redesign of Retroactive Billing
Speaker: Vinitha Kalappurakkal
A retroactive billing process in a healthcare platform was taking approximately 72 hours at full production volume. Its core calculation was tightly coupled with invoice generation, making independent testing and validation difficult.
Vinitha will share how separating the retroactive calculation into its own stage made the process easier to verify and reduced processing time to roughly 3.5 hours.
