Smarter Testing with AI: Bridging the Manual & Automation Gap | Karime Salomon Zarate |

In this session, we’ll explore how AI is bridging the gap between manual and automation testing, creating a new wave of Hybrid QA professionals. Many manual testers struggle to transition into automation, while automation engineers often overlook key QA tasks. AI is the perfect tool to balance these roles. We’ll dive into options with AI that can help manual testers adopt automation faster and enable automation engineers to optimize tedious QA tasks.

This video is of one of the sessions presented at #QonfX ‘Future of Testing’ Week 2-Day Virtual Conference, 2025.
