AI is moving beyond assistance toward systems that can reason, pursue goals, use tools, and collaborate with other agents. What does this shift mean for Quality Engineering? This session provides a practical path from traditional test automation to Agentic QE. We’ll explore how to build an agentic testing ecosystem using existing automation, specialized agents, orchestration, and human oversight; how to systematically evaluate agents before entrusting them with QE responsibilities; and how trusted QE agents can integrate into the broader Agentic Software Engineering lifecycle, while...
