Session: Achieving Smarter Testing: Leveraging AI in Continuous Testing

In today's fast-paced development environment, the ability to quickly and accurately generate test data is crucial for maintaining a robust continuous testing framework. 

Perforce’s speaking session, led by Stephen Feloney, will explore how AI can be harnessed to automate the generation and seeding of test data, ensuring comprehensive test coverage and improving overall software quality. We will also discuss data masking and its importance in protecting sensitive information during testing. 

Attendees will learn about: 

• How AI can streamline data generation processes.
• Techniques for integrating AI-driven data seeding into continuous testing pipelines.
