AI-Assisted Testing in Action – Use Cases and ROI

A year ago (minus one day) Arash Taheri came and spoke to us about how to leverage AI to inject efficiency into your testing process. A lot can happen in a year. In that year, Arash and his team have taken the right steps to implement AI into their solutioning and have learned some lessons. So we've invited him back to talk to us about that journey.

AI-Assisted Testing in Action – Use Cases and ROI
Development teams have already begun integrating AI into their development processes, accelerating delivery and reshaping traditional release cycles. To ensure Quality Assurance keeps pace and does not become a bottleneck, QA must evolve alongside engineering. This makes AI-Assisted Testing not just beneficial, but essential for modern software quality.
In this session, I will share how we successfully implemented a Proof of Concept for AI-Assisted Testing within our organization and the measurable impact it has delivered. This AI-driven capability supports the entire Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), enabling smarter test design, faster execution, and more insightful quality feedback. I will walk through real, production-level use cases that demonstrate AI in testing in action—not just theory. Attendees will gain clear insight into how we are saving time, increasing efficiency, and ultimately raising the bar of software quality across teams.
