Test IO

We're all talking a whole lot about #AI for all the reasons. We're also talking a whole lot about how we believe that the 'secret sauce' for successful AI-powered #QE, #QA, and #testing is human directed, governed, and validated AI working in collaboration with human expertise and human-driven real-world testing. A recipe that EPAM Systems' testing practice and Test IO are authoring figurative cookbooks for as I type this. Whether you've begun integrating AI tools into your testing infrastructure and flows, you're in an exploration and learning stage, or you're comfortable to keep AI on the horizon for now. What is the biggest blocker for you right now, in regards to an investment of trust in AI-generated test results? We know #quality professionals are by nature a curious yet skeptical lot. What key facet would carry the most weight for you to bridge the You <-> Trusted AI Tools gap?

Are you a ReportPortal user? Statistically, the answer is 'probably'. RP isn't an industry standard just because we liked the way the descriptor looked in our marketing copy. #AI in testing is all about its utility. It's a tool. A really cool tool, yes, but still just a tool. It's what we do with it that matters. One of the really cool, incredibly powerful things that can be done with it is to create #agents. Think of agents as your robot-ish coworkers who's only desire in their digital lives is to accomplish the tasks you set for them. To this end, agents tend to be specialized - i.e. designed to do 'a thing' rather than 'all the things'. What's neat about them though, is you can build multiple agents, each with their particular role, and get them working as a team. You can now add ReportPortal-powered agents to those teams and use RP's actionable analytics and intelligence to autonomously inform and direct other agents on the team, collaborate with human testers, or even just build out and deliver easily digestible and sharable reports. Or all of the above, plus. And if you're NOT using ReportPortal, well. Why not? It's a great opportunity to start exploring what you can do with agentic #QE and #QA. There's a giant and robust RP community to tap into. And it's #OpenSource, so you can tinker and explore freely without fear of any sort of tech lock in.

AI is not only here to stay, but it is changing pretty much everything at lightning speed. One of the most top-of-mind topics, and understandably so, is "But what about, you know. People?". The key to building successful relationships with AI? People. As much as AI can do, it can't be human. AI is dependent on people to develop, guide, train, govern, validate, and iterate. AI is also dependent on people to own human-first testing strategies like #human-experience testing (#HXT), #usability, #accessibility, #localization, and #real-world testing*. You know what's a GREAT compliment to AI's many benefits? The unicorn that covers all the above bases and more: #Crowdtesting. #Crowd is our wheelhouse, and we've spent over a decade fine tuning crowd management, supporting technologies, integrations, security, and optimizations. We ALSO have over a decade of experience training, educating, developing, and upskilling our global Test IO Community, to assure that Test IO customers don't just get all the benefits of Crowd. They get the benefits of the BEST Crowd. It's a powerful value prop that delivers on its promises, because we've spent over a decade engineering it to. And we're still full speed ahead! If you're new to Crowd and have more questions than answers? Here's a recipe for success: 1) Explore this newly publishing article on EPAM Systems' SolutionsHub.

If AI ever gets to the point where it CAN own real-world testing, humans likely have bigger problems. #Ahnold

EPAM Systems' very own Adam Auerbach will be in #Boston to deliver a #keynote at the upcoming TESTINGMIND conference. We all know #AI isn't a gimmick or a fad. We all know it will fundamentally transform #QE, #QA, and #testing. We all know AI's success is completely dependent on #human direction, application, governance, and validation. It's all about embracing AI as a collaborator, not fearing it as a competitor. "Okay, but how?" is the perfect follow up question. Join Adam in Boston, and/or join us a little later at TechWell Corp' #STARWEST2025, and we'd be happy to walk you through the "how's" and the "why's". NOTE!: This stuff is invaluable to business leaders outside of QE and QA exploring AI within their organizations, too. Why? Because #quality is the PERFECT place to start exploring AI. Even if your focus is outside of testing, we'd love to show you how to collaborate with your quality teams as your initial AI test bed.

We hope everyone is having a fantastic summer! As the pace of innovation in #AI and supporting technologies like #MCP continues to accelerate, we’re staying focused on one thing: The Future of #Testing. Yes, #human-centric #QE and #QA are evolving. But the need for humans in the loop isn’t going away. It’s becoming more essential. Why? Because there’s one thing humans will ALWAYS do better than machines: Be human. To highlight what we mean, here’s another great example from our Test IO Community that showcases the kind of human ingenuity, creativity, and invention required to truly collaborate with and unlock AI’s potential: 🎥 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/euhybaxk Sneak Peek: In the coming months, we’ll be sharing and showcasing even more about our vision for the future of testing. A future built on human-AI collaboration, engineering new standards of #quality that are already becoming reality today. Curious? Let’s talk. It’s never too early to start planning for #tomorrow. 🌐 Visit us: https://test.io #HumansWillNeverBeObsolete CC: Markus Naumann, Carlos Andrés Muñoz Sandoval, Irina Lebedzeva

Here in the United States, we'll be celebrating our annual July 4th "Independence Day" holiday this Friday. For most Americans, that means cookouts, picnics, fireworks, and gathering with friends and family. But to zoom out, the whole concept of 'independence' is something incredibly significant and powerful. One of the best paths in the pursuit of personal independence and accomplishment is through education and opportunity. A foundation of the Test IO Community's core mission is to offer both for our global community of #testers and #quality experts. Not only do Test IO customers get immediate and scalable access to real-world, human-centric #testing solutions. But by working with Test IO, the delivered human experiences extend beyond their own customers. In this video, meet Tereza. A Ukranian mother who leveraged the Test IO Community to return to her tech roots and became a #quality leader.

“WWTD?” - What would Tariq do? #merchIdea Note: You can also find out just be reaching out our way and connecting. He’s as charming and insightful in real life as he is as a bobblehead. Got #QE, #QA, #AI, or any particular #quality or #testing gap you’re trying to bridge? We’re here to help.

EPAM Systems #SolutionsHub (link: https://lnkd.in/dtENHfjs) is a unified online marketplace designed to make it easy to not just find a specific solution. But to also be exposed to supporting and/or related solutions as individual challenges tend to be made up of many parts. #Testing #services, #products, and #accelerators (including Test IO) can be readily found. And note that many of the software-based offerings are #openSource making extremely powerful #quality tools readily available. If you're a Test IO customer, you've likely already seen some of them in action. To help encourage exploration, we're spinning up a number of articles around different types of testing, different methodologies like #crowd, and more, to try and better help SolutionsHub visitors better understand how the puzzle pieces fit together and support one another to create holistic end-to-end quality solutions across the #SDLC or #product life cycle. As #AI continues to become more prevalent, it becomes even easier to lose sight of what should be every developer's North Star: the #humanExperience. We can help keep you on course.
