1000 Tokens and You're a Senior: How AI is Reshaping Software Testing

This talk presents the practical journey of introducing AI into testing within a company operating under strict security constraints.

We will demonstrate the evolution of AI usage:

• from generating test cases based on requirements,

• to supporting manual testing,

• to building a structured knowledge base,

• to generating automated tests,

• and ultimately to a continuous delivery model for automated tests.

We will explore:

• why “raw” vibe coding does not scale in business environments,

• why custom AI agents are not always justified,

• how a universal engineering prompt can replace building your own agent,

• how to integrate AI into CI/CD without complex AI infrastructure.

We will share real-world constraints, the economics of adoption, and measurable efficiency metrics.

Key idea:

AI becomes part of the team not when it is intelligent, but when it is embedded into rules, standards, and processes.
