The Generative AI Revolution: A Compass for Test Leaders Through Change

In today’s fast-changing tech landscape, the ability to anticipate and adapt to change is crucial for test leaders, especially with the rise of Generative AI. As projects experience market pressures from investors and increased scrutiny from customers, test leaders must navigate both technological disruptions and business challenges. This evolution is transforming the role of test leaders more rapidly than ever.

Rob Sabourin, with over forty years of experience, has successfully guided teams through these transitions. He collaborates with professionals who understand that change is continuous-particularly due to Generative AI. His framework acts as a compass for testers, test leads, programmers, product owners, and others involved in high-tech projects, providing tools to navigate this evolving landscape. Rob will share strategies for decoupling testing fundamentals from changing technologies and project constraints, focusing on Generative AI’s impact on business risk models, product development lifecycles, and technology solutions. He will show how testing can evolve strategically.
