Keynote: Architecting Systems for Agent Experience (AX) | Dana Lawson | TestMu 2025
In this insightful keynote session at TestMu Conference 2025, πππ§π πππ°π¬π¨π§, Chief Technology Officer at Netlify, delves into Zero-UI Engineering and the concept of Agent Experience (AX). She explores the future of software testing in a world where bots and AI agents are the new "users" who operate at machine speed without a UI.
Dana explains how this shift challenges traditional testing practices and highlights the need for new approaches to system architecture that support autonomous agents. Learn how to design systems that are testable, debuggable, and reliable for invisible user-agents who work directly with APIs.
Agent Experience (AX) is crucial in the era of AI-driven workflows.
Zero-UI Engineering is the intersection of UX, DX, and AX, focusing on designing systems for agents.
Practical steps for creating systems that expose clear metadata, ensure security, and allow agents to function autonomously.
Importance of observability in real-time using OpenTelemetry to trust agent-driven actions.
How to build self-healing systems that allow agents to autonomously fix issues without disrupting production.
