AI-Driven QA Lifecycle | 12th SF Bay Area Meetup
What if AI could support quality before testing even begins?
At The Test Tribe’s 12th SF Bay Area Meetup, Dilruba Malik will explore how AI can support different stages of the QA lifecycle, from requirements and test planning to automation, execution, failure analysis, and continuous improvement.
Session
AI-Driven QA Lifecycle
Speaker: Dilruba Malik, Senior SQA Manager at Palo Alto Networks
Dilruba will explore how AI-powered workflows and agents can connect parts of the QA lifecycle that are often handled separately.
The session will cover:
Requirements & Test Planning: Using AI to analyse requirements, identify risks, and generate relevant scenarios
Test Creation & Automation: Generating test cases and automation using product knowledge, historical test data, and existing patterns
Execution & Failure Analysis: Using AI-powered agents to support execution, defect analysis, and root-cause investigation
Continuous Quality Improvement: Improving regression coverage and adapting as products and requirements change
