Why We Shelved Our No-Code QA Platform and Switched to Agentic Testing | 17th In Person Toronto Meetup
What makes an automation approach worth keeping, and when is it time to rethink it?
At The Test Tribe’s 17th Toronto Meetup, Anna Karnaukh will share how Treegress moved from a no-code QA automation platform built around finite-state machines toward agentic testing.
The session focuses on what changed when agents began taking on test planning, creation, and review, and the engineering tradeoffs behind that shift.
