The rise of AI is transforming how software is developed and tested—but the hardest questions for QA leaders aren’t about tools. They’re about people, productivity, and long-term strategy. As organizations race to integrate AI, leaders must rethink how they hire, train, and guide teams while making tough decisions about whether to build custom solutions, buy off-the-shelf platforms, or take a more measured approach. This panel brings together leaders who are navigating these crossroads in real time.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI agents use real tools safely. In this talk, we’ll see how Playwright MCP bridges agents and a real browser by leveraging the accessibility tree (not screenshots) to navigate pages, locate elements, perform actions, and extract data—then export stable Playwright tests you can commit.

In this fireside chat with Jaydeep, we’ll dive into how AI is changing the way we measure success in both QA processes and live generative AI bots. On the QA side, we’ll look at cycle time reduction—the “time goalie” metric that shows how quickly we move from discovering a bug to fixing it. We’ll also talk about predictive quality accuracy, which shifts QA from being reactive to proactive by predicting which code changes are most likely to introduce bugs. And of course, we’ll touch on test creation velocity—how much faster teams are able to create meaningful automation with AI’s support.

In this session, Andrew will trace Vibe Coding's journey—from emergence to current impact—exploring how it has got us into re-thinking development and testing. He'll examine today's tools, real-world use cases, and the cultural shifts teams need to embrace this AI-driven approach. Andrew will share hot takes on myths versus reality and deliver practical advice for getting started. This video is of one of the sessions presented at - World’s Leading Virtual Software Testing Conference.
