Why "Testing Agents + QA Professionals" Are the Perfect Test Team for Any Company

In an era where AI-driven agents are making waves across industries, the conversation often centers around machines replacing humans. But in software quality assurance, the real transformation lies in collaboration, not replacement.
In this talk, we’ll explore how AI testing agents can elevate and empower QA professionals—not eliminate them. We'll walk through how these agents assist in test discovery, authoring, and execution, while being guided, validated, and fine-tuned by human expertise.
You’ll see how this synergy creates a faster, smarter, and more reliable QA process—where agents handle repetitive, data-heavy tasks, and QA engineers focus on strategy, edge cases, and quality oversight.
We’ll dive into real-world use cases from across the industry, and share insights from our journey at Sofy, where we’ve built AI-powered testing agents that integrate seamlessly into QA teams. Learn how pairing human judgment with agent automation is not just the future of software testing—it's the new standard.
