AI transformation: Start automating from the ground up

Most quality engineering teams aren’t starting from scratch; they’re starting from spreadsheets. This is the reality for the majority of enterprises, and it’s exactly where this session begins.

We’ll walk through the practical steps to get your testing foundation in shape, introduce agentic capabilities in a way that sticks, and give your team a clear picture of where they are today and what comes next.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series: Register for Part 2 here. Part 2 is a roundtable discussion with IBM and TTC about what AI testing transformation looks like in practice.

• Why the foundation matters before the leap: How to audit, document, and organize your existing test assets, so agentic AI works when you introduce it.
• How to introduce agentic capabilities without replacing your team: A practical look at how automation compresses the manual-to-automated path while keeping practitioners in control.
• Where your organization sits today and what the next step looks like: A maturity framework that makes the path from spreadsheets to agentic acceleration concrete and achievable.
