Panel Discussion - AI in Automation: Accelerating Scripts and Execution | Testflix 2025
AI in automation is rapidly emerging as a powerful enabler for testers. From automation script generation utilities to simplifying API testing and framework development, these capabilities promise to accelerate productivity. But as testers embrace assistants like Copilot and Cursor, big questions emerge - What does this mean to the future of open-source frameworks like Selenium and Playwright? How should testers balance the speed of AI-generated code with the need for reliability and maintainability? How do we measure productivity gains from AI-paired programming? And AI doesn't stop at coding. In execution, AI-powered self-healing, smart retries and failure triage are starting to reshape how tests run, recover and deliver insights. This panel will explore real-world experiences, opportunities and fears around AI in automation - both coding and execution and skill sets needed to thrive in an AI-augmented quality engineering world.
