Keynote: How Software Testing Can Increase Agent Autonomy | Luis Héctor Chávez | TestMu 2025
In this session at TestMu Conference 2025, 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐆𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐡, Engineering Lead at ING Bank, explores the importance of early testing and testing right in today's fast-paced development environment. With over 13 years of experience, Ashish shares practical strategies for balancing speed and reliability while ensuring that testing remains integral to the software development lifecycle. He emphasizes the value of testing at multiple levels, from unit testing to integrated system testing, to catch defects early and maintain stability.
Ashish explains how adopting an engineering-first approach to shift-left testing can minimize the risks associated with subtle defects in AI-generated and traditional code. He also delves into actionable strategies for unit testing, contract testing, and system testing, ultimately ensuring that software delivers real-world reliability.
Balancing early testing with real-world reliability: How to catch defects early without compromising on stability.
Shift-left strategy: Best practices for moving testing earlier in the development process.
Unit and contract testing: Ensuring technical and business functionality through targeted tests.
Real-world testing: How to validate software in real-world environments while minimizing costs.
Five quality anchors: Key steps to embed quality at every stage of the SDLC.
