(Not) Another AI and testing talk: What Actually Worked, What Failed Miserably, and Where We’re Investing Next

After 18 months of deploying AI across our testing practices, we’ve moved past the vendor promises to uncover what delivers real value versus what’s expensive distraction. This talk reveals our unfiltered journey from AI skeptics to selective adopters—covering the testing tasks where AI exceeded expectations, where it created more problems than it solved, and the surprising patterns that emerged about human-AI collaboration in testing teams.

In this talk, Tomislav Delalic will share the hard-won lessons from 18 months of real-world AI testing experiments. He’ll reveal the expensive mistakes that looked brilliant on paper, the human resistance patterns that nearly killed promising pilots, and the counter-intuitive discovery that smarter AI often demands smarter testers. Through candid stories of failed initiatives and unexpected wins, he’ll show how teams can avoid the ‘AI theater’ trap and build sustainable human-AI partnerships that actually improve quality outcomes.
