QA & AI Holiday Special
Join us for an evening of learning, community, and festive celebration as we wrap up the year together!
We’re partnering with Innovate QA and LambdaTest to bring the tech community a special Holiday Social featuring two expert speakers, interactive discussions, networking, and plenty of holiday cheer. Expect prizes, surprises, and a fun end-of-year celebration you won’t want to miss.
Agenda:
5:00–6:00pm: Networking/Refreshments
6:00–6:15pm: Welcome note
6:15–6:45pm: Jim Trentadue - "Balancing Release & Sprint Delivery Speed With Thorough Testing"
6:45–7:00pm: LambdaTest sponsor presentation
7:00–7:30pm: Manoj Mohan - "Building Confidence in Agentic AI: A Testing Playbook for Leaders"
7:30–9:00pm: Networking, food, and drinks
### Speaker 1: Manoj Mohan – Enterprise AI & Data Executive
Talk: Building Confidence in Agentic AI: A Testing Playbook for Leaders
AI systems are rapidly shifting from passive tools to agentic AI that can reason, plan, and act autonomously. This brings a new leadership challenge:
How do we build trust in systems that are probabilistic, adaptive, and not fully predictable?
Manoj will explore:
The shift from traditional AI to agentic AI
Why deterministic testing falls short for adaptive systems
A modern testing playbook focused on reliability, guardrails, and real-world safety
Ensuring agentic AI behaves responsibly, scales reliably, and aligns with enterprise values

### 🎙️ Speaker 2: Jim Trentadue – Quality Engineering Leader & Author
Talk: Balancing Release & Sprint Delivery Speed With Thorough Testing
Software teams are being pushed to release faster and compress sprint timelines, placing significant pressure on testing teams. Jim will share practical techniques to accelerate both test case creation and test execution while preserving quality.
He will cover:
Strategies for improving and speeding up test case creation
Accelerating test execution and feedback loops
Supporting quicker decision-making without sacrificing quality
How AI can streamline various stages of the testing process
