SUMMARY:Practical AI for Testers: 5 Skills That Actually Make a Difference
DESCRIPTION:AI is transforming software testing—but many testers struggle to turn it into real\, consistent productivity. \nIn this session\, Swati Seela shares five practical AI skills that go beyond experimentation—helping testers generate structured\, usable test cases\, accelerate automation development\, and integrate AI into real-world testing workflows. \nThis is a practical\, example-driven session focused on what actually works—so you can apply these techniques immediately to improve speed\, quality\, and overall impact. \n  \nSwati Seela is a Principal Software Quality Assurance Engineer with over 20 years of experience in software testing\, test automation\, and quality engineering across global teams. She has led the design and implementation of scalable automation frameworks and robust testing strategies that improve product quality and team efficiency. \nShe is the author of 100+ articles on SoftwareTestingHelp.com\, where her work on risk-based testing\, test design\, and practical quality engineering has helped thousands of testers rethink how they approach testing—not just execute it. Her contributions focus on building thoughtful\, high-impact testing practices grounded in real-world experience.
