Using AI in Testing, Development, and Production to Automate Fraud Prevention
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, preventing fraud and ensuring security of applications through development and production has become paramount. However, the traditional manual approaches to security testing, fraud detection and functional testing of apps once they have been protected is time-consuming, error-prone, and often fails to keep pace with emerging threats such as FaceID bypass using deepfakes. This session will explore the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of automating security testing, fraud detection and testing protected applications. Karen will...
Building a Scalable Infrastructure for Mobile UI Test Execution
In an era of rapid mobile development cycles, maintaining reliable, efficient, and scalable UI test automation is a critical challenge for engineering teams. With thousands of test cases running across multiple devices, emulators, and cloud environments, traditional test execution strategies fail to scale, leading to slow feedback loops, high maintenance costs, and infrastructure bottlenecks. We will explore cutting-edge strategies for building a scalable UI test execution infrastructure, leveraging orchestration tools, cloud-native solutions, and in-house hardware optimizations. The...
