How to Harness AI to Improve SDLC Quality | Mallika Fernandes | Testflix 2025
As software systems grow more complex and business cycles demand faster releases, traditional approaches to quality engineering are no longer enough. AI brings a new dimension to the Software Development Life Cycle—augmenting decision-making, predicting risks, automating quality checks, and continuously assuring value delivery. Armed with GenAI and Agents we can reshape how we think about software quality. This discussion explores practical ways to embed AI across the SDLC to accelerate delivery, reduce risk, and achieve a step-change in quality outcomes.
