Level Up Your QA Game in 2026: From Gatekeepers to Enablers of Velocity, Quality & AI‑Led Innovation

2025 has seen the widespread use of generative AI models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, and Google’s Gemini across the software industry. Developers and QA teams now routinely employ these AI assistants for tasks such as writing documentation and generating code. In QA specifically, 54% of professionals are using ChatGPT, primarily for support tasks like generating test cases or code snippets and debugging help. Most teams are still not using specialized QA AI solutions (e.g. intelligent test prioritization or defect analysis), and the promised gains remain limited in practice .

The QA industry remains lagged behind when it comes to true AI-driven automation that understands product context and integration complexity. One reason is that many “AI-powered” testing tools today are essentially brittle script generators – they lack real product awareness and can’t adapt to system changes. In contrast, the next generation of context-aware AI testing can “understand your entire application architecture”, learning your APIs, UI components, and business logic patterns – capabilities largely absent from mainstream QA tooling so far. This session is a call to action for QA professionals to rise above this stagnation. It will inspire a transformational mindset shift, showing how testers can evolve from traditional gatekeepers of quality into proactive enablers of velocity and quality. 

He will break down how QA can influence velocity, automation, and engineering outcomes. This session is not about tools, but about mindset, metrics, and strategic moves that elevate QA’s impact. Attendees will learn how to leverage AI (beyond the buzzwords) as a strategic partner, and leave with concrete strategies to drive innovation and value in an AI-first world.

Key Takeaways

1. Understand why many QA professionals feel stuck despite working hard — and learn how to change that trajectory for career growth.

2. Learn what’s missing in most “AI for QA” tools, and how to identify real ROI in automation instead of being dazzled by hype.

3. Discover a blueprint for contributing beyond test execution — expanding your role into a velocity enabler and platform thinker who influences engineering outcomes.

4. See how practices like pre-commit quality gates, AI-based test analysis, and observability across pipelines can directly drive business impact (with real examples you can apply).
