Test Forward 2027 - Software Quality in the Age of AI

Software quality in the age of AI

AI writes code faster than most teams can test it. Test Forward is one afternoon at Station F with the QA and engineering people closing that gap in their own teams.

Co-hosted by Thunders and Ministry of Testing.

What you’ll get

Straight takes on the calls every team is making right now: who owns quality when AI writes the code, what data you can send to a model, where end-to-end testing should stop.

Talks with before-and-after figures. Including the bits that cost more than planned.

A round table where the floor gets the mic.

An afterwork with speakers and peers. Drinks on us.
