On March 3 and 4, the 16th edition of Test Automation Days will take place at Gooiland, Hilversum, The Netherlands. This year’s theme is Proving the Relevance of Test Automation. Are We Still Relevant in an AI-powered World?
For more than 15 years, Test Automation Days has proven to be the key meeting place for the international test automation community. A two-day conference filled with innovative and transforming talks, workshops and hands-on experiences.
Proving the Relevance of Test Automation
Are We Still Relevant in an AI-powered World?
We’re all trying to remain relevant in our work and in our life. Do we still matter? Do people still see the value of what we do? ‘Relevance’ refers to an important human value, through which we feel heard and through which we grow in what we are good at. As the program committee of Test Automation Days, we see the relevance of test automation. We would not have kept the conference going for so many years if we didn’t! It is important that we keep talking about test automation and its continued relevance, especially now that AI has an ever-growing presence in our work and in our lives.
During Test Automation Days we will explore questions such as:
• Will or has that relevance become larger or smaller because of AI?
• Is the role of the test automation specialist fundamentally shifting because of AI, and what does that mean for your expertise?
• Does AI ask for a redefinition of quality and trust in building, testing and delivering software?
• Are other aspects of test automation (for example test data, pipelines, security, performance) showing why it is still relevant today?
• Is it not the technology itself, but the ability to create impact with it, that determines the real relevance?
Call for Cases
