Discover the future of testing. How? With technical and industry insights, and examples of best practice from Sogeti’s world-leading Digital Assurance and Testing Global experts.

How do you apply innovation to ensure you remain at the forefront of testing and QA?

Any transition to Agile and DevOps requires Continuous Testing. By now, its methods, principles and benefits should be known to everyone. With the right mix of people, process and technology, you will quickly produce high-quality products. But what if that fails? And how do you best balance quality, speed and cost?

AI and Machine Learning has also enabled software to learn so what does this mean for the testing process-how do go about testing AI?

Discover the key trends and tools shaping modern testing, from Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Automation and Continuous Testing. Plus you will hear from the author of the latest World Quality (WQR) report – the WQR now in its 11th year is a comprehensive and balanced overview of the key trends shaping quality assurance & testing today.

Join Sogeti’s testing and AI specialists on three hot topics and participate in the panel discussion featuring several of our international experts as they debate how smarter testing really can make value for your business.

This session takes a look at the state of Continuous Testing—the process of fast and efficient validation of software releases in Agile developments through highly automated tests. We will investigate various aspects of Continuous Testing - shift left, test orchestration, test data, shift right – all illustrated by industry research and real-use cases.

Key speaker: Mark Buenen - Capgemini and Sogeti’s Global Leader, Digital Assurance and Testing Portfolio.
