Your vendor clicks one button, a full test suite writes itself, and every leader in the room asks the same question: "why aren't we already doing this?" This session is the honest answer to the boring one nobody puts on a demo slide. Through one real transformation story from Fortune 500 retail, we'll walk the deeply unglamorous work that decides whether an AI agent becomes your best hire or your fastest way to scale chaos. Because before you let the agents run wild, someone has to fix the floor they're about to run on and AI doesn't transform your quality engineering, it inherits it.
