The Test Tribe Dallas

We're excited to announce the upcoming TTTribeCast Webinar on "Fewer Tokens, Similar Results: Cost Optimisation for AI Agents" by Chandan Varshney

​When is it happening? 22nd October 2026 | Thursday | 9:00 PM IST | 8:30 AM PT | 11:30 AM ET | 5:30 PM CEST

​What will Chandan speak about?

## Fewer Tokens, Similar Results: Cost Optimisation for AI Agents

​​Your chatbot answers in one call. Your AI agent might make 20 calls for the same job, and re-read everything it has seen before each one. That's why agent bills surprise so many teams.

7th Dallas Meetup – Testing for Secure and Responsible AI

Generative AI is becoming part of modern software systems, but testing AI introduces questions that go beyond traditional quality checks.
How do we test for security, reliability, privacy, responsible behavior, and human oversight when the system itself can behave in new and unexpected ways?

At The Test Tribe’s 7th Dallas Meetup, Lekshmi Krishnan will explore how Test Engineering teams can approach Generative AI from both a security and responsible AI perspective — and how testing can help build greater confidence and trust in AI-driven systems.

Event Details

• Date: 28 October 2026
• Time: 6:00–8:00 PM CT
• Venue: 25N Coworking

Session – Testing for Secure and Responsible AI

Speaker: Lekshmi Krishnan

The session will explore the evolving role of software testing as Generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into software systems.

You’ll explore:

• Secure and Responsible AI – Key principles that matter from a testing perspective.
• AI-Specific Challenges – Security and reliability considerations that go beyond traditional testing approaches.
• Testing Across Layers – How testing and mitigation strategies can be applied at different layers of AI-driven systems.
• The Role of Test Engineering – How testing teams can contribute to building trust, security, and responsible behavior into Generative AI systems.

How This Meetup Solves Your Problem

• Traditional testing approaches aren't enough for AI systems? Explore the additional considerations introduced by Generative AI.
• AI security and reliability feel difficult to test? Understand the challenges that need to be considered.
• Responsible AI feels like a separate discipline? See how Test Engineering can contribute to responsible AI practices.
• You need greater confidence in AI-driven systems? Explore testing and mitigation approaches across different layers.

Why Show Up on 28 October?

• Because testing AI requires thinking beyond functional correctness.
• Because security, reliability, privacy, and responsible behavior all influence trust in AI systems.
• Because the role of Test Engineering is evolving as AI becomes part of software architecture.
• Because understanding where testing fits into responsible AI can help teams approach AI adoption more thoughtfully.
• Because building trust in AI starts with knowing what needs to be tested and why.

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.
