Future of Software Testing and Your Career Paths

Future of software industry was never brighter. With coding agents churning out code, LLMs getting smarter by the day, writing software has never been easier. Of course, the future of the human developers (and testers) could be a different story altogether.

In this talk we will explore the directions of the AI industry, the forces at work and the corresponding trajectory and shape of the human career. Listen to the perspective of the person who predicted DevOps and use of AI even before the word DevOps was crafted and AI third wave started.

Workshop Sessions
Half-Day
25 Outubro

This half-day workshop explores how artificial intelligence can revolutionize digital accessibility testing. Participants will learn how AI-driven tools and intelligent automation can enhance the detection, reporting, and prioritization of accessibility issues across digital products.

The session bridges the gap between human empathy and machine precision — illustrating how technology can make inclusion measurable, scalable, and impactful. Through real-world examples, attendees will see how accessibility and AI intersect to create truly human-centered digital experiences.
