MAIN TRACK TALK

AI Meets API: Transforming Automated Testing Processes

A few months ago, Adha’s colleague reached out to her with an interesting challenge. He had been developing a robust API test automation framework but was facing a familiar bottleneck: the process of manually writing test cases from an OpenAPI specification was time-consuming, repetitive, and prone to human error. Despite the framework’s capabilities, generating comprehensive test coverage still required significant effort and domain knowledge. So everything started from there.

This talk explores an AI-driven approach to API testing: building structured test models from business goals and OpenAPI specs and turning them into executable code. Attendees will learn how to transition from manual test writing to optimising AI-generated tests for greater speed, reliability, and software quality.
