70% of QA professionals say AI is critical to the future of quality. Yet, 46% cite skill gaps, 57% worry AI could replace jobs, and concerns around tool maintenance and integration complexity are growing. AI is here, but most teams are stuck watching from the sidelines.

This session breaks down:

• What AI can do in QA – Practical use cases beyond the buzzwords.
• AI as a career accelerator, not a job killer – How testers can adapt and stay relevant.
• AI adoption done right – Real-world lessons from teams successfully integrating AI.

Scaling QA isn’t about “doing more testing.” Or, more scripts ≠ better quality. Yet, 55% of teams say lack of time is their biggest challenge, 43% struggle with automation maintenance, and 30% face a crippling talent shortage. The result? QA teams drowning in work but barely moving the needle.

This session discusses:

• The scaling trap – Why most QA teams hit a wall despite investing in automation.
• The enterprise playbook – How top-performing teams scale QA without increasing headcount.
• Lessons from the trenches – What leading QA orgs get right about structure, tooling, and efficiency.

Half of QA teams can't secure adequate funding for tools and infrastructure. Yet companies with strong QA investment see 83% fewer defects and 77% higher customer retention, and 53% lower operational costs.

It’s time to flip the script. QA does deliver massive ROI when you know how to measure and communicate it. In this session, we’ll discuss:

• How to quantify QA's business impact through speed, quality, and operational efficiency.
• Why 45% of teams are dissatisfied with their QA vendors and the evaluation criteria that predict successful partnerships.
• What separates organizations seeing massive ROI from those barely breaking even, and how to join the top 21%.

QA isn’t just about catching what’s broken. It’s about ensuring everything works better, faster, and more reliably for customers. Yet, only 18% of teams have fully optimized QA processes, and 48% of leaders still struggle to position QA as a business driver.

This roundtable will explore how leading companies are redefining quality to drive business success. We’ll dive into:

• QA as a driver of customer experience: Learn to make quality a key part of your customer strategy.
• Building a culture of quality: Implement strategies to standardize, automate, and optimize QA.
• The future of QA teams: What skills, mindsets, and strategies will define tomorrow’s top QA teams?
