BrowserStack QA Online Meetup
Vijay is not just an automation expert; he is a BrowserStack Champion, an AWS Community Builder, and an Associate Vice President at NatWest Group.
His transition from 13 years of traditional QA to being a "Quality Automation Specialist" who bridges the gap between Cloud (AWS/Azure), Playwright, and AI makes him the perfect speaker for a forward-looking session.
🤖 Smart Automation with Playwright: From UI to AI
Future-Proofing Your Quality Engineering Stack
The automation landscape is shifting. It’s no longer enough to just verify a UI element; modern engineers must now orchestrate tests across cloud environments and integrate AI to handle the complexity of non-deterministic systems.
Join us for the BrowserStack Sao Paulo Online Meetup as we dive into the next generation of testing. We are thrilled to feature Vijayaraghavan (Vijay) Vashudevan, Associate Vice President at NatWest Group and a recognized BrowserStack Champion.
Vijay will demonstrate how to leverage Playwright—the fastest-growing automation framework—and supercharge it with AI and Cloud capabilities to build a "Smart Automation" pipeline that is resilient, scalable, and intelligent.
