Coding with Agents | New York Meetup

The Test Tribe 7th New York Meetup – Coding with Agents

What if you could build test automation or even full applications without writing code?
AI agents are rapidly lowering the barrier to entry, changing who can build, test, and contribute to software. What once required deep programming expertise can now be achieved through intent, guidance, and intelligent systems.

At the 7th New York Meetup, we explore this shift firsthand what it means for testers, engineers, and the future of quality.

Session: Coding with Agents

Speaker: Eric Pietrzak, Quality Engineering leader – Paramount Global, Cox Automotive

About the Session

In this live demonstration session, Eric Pietrzak will showcase how AI agents can be used to create tests and applications without writing traditional code.

You’ll see how modern agent-based tools can:

• Translate intent into working test automation
• Enable faster prototyping and experimentation
• Make development and testing more accessible to a wider range of professionals

This session isn’t just about tools - it’s about a fundamental shift in how software is built and tested, and what that means for the role of QA and engineering in the near future.

Key Takeaways

• How AI agents lower the barrier to entry for creating test automation
• What “coding without code” looks like in practice
