Software verification in the age of Artificial Intelligence
The AI tsunami is transforming every aspect of software engineering. What does it hold in store for the world’s software and for the profession itself? Beyond the buzz, can “vibe coding” scale up to the production of the high-quality systems the world increasingly requires? How do these evolutions affect testing and, more generally, software verification?
The talk will address these questions and, more generally, analyze what software development will look like in the new, AI-rich world. It will particulary focus on the need for a modern form of software verification, supported by advanced tools and combining the best of dynamic techniques (tests) and static ones (proofs), all supported by AI agents. It will also draw the lessons for software developers and testers who want to navigate the new landscape successfully.

Customer Zero – Perfecting the Experience Before It’s Airborne
What do aviation and diagnostics have in common? There’s no such thing as a harmless mistake. A misplaced alert, a confusing step, a subtle ergonomic miss or even a small bug can have drastic real-world consequences.
Continuous testing keeps those moments from reaching the people who rely on us the most: Patients. As AI and immersive technologies reshape our systems, we’ve built the CX Lab, a space where digital design and physical validation come together from day one. Using immersive simulations and digital experience twins, we test the entire user journey before a single component is built.
This approach culminates in our “Customer Zero” Integration Lab, our ‘customer-before-the-customer’, for final, real-world validation. Join us to see how we define quality and pioneer change in a space where reliability is critical and customer Trust is everything.

Plattformübergreifende Bereitstellung synthetischer Testdaten
In zunehmend hybriden IT-Landschaften stellt das Testen über Cloud- und On-Premises-Systeme hinweg eine Herausforderung dar – insbesondere dann, wenn echte Daten aus Datenschutz- oder Sicherheitsgründen nicht genutzt werden dürfen. Synthetische Testdaten bieten hier einen vielversprechenden Ausweg, doch häufig scheitern Initiativen an mangelnder Konsistenz und Kompatibilität zwischen verschiedenen Plattformen und Systemen.
Der Vortrag zeigt, wie ein zentral definiertes, fachlich orientiertes Datenmodell als Basis für die plattformübergreifende Generierung und Provisionierung synthetischer Testdaten in einer Privatbank dienen kann. Anhand konkreter Praxisbeispiele wird erläutert, wie testrelevante Daten über verschiedene Zielsysteme (z. B. Avaloq) hinweg konsistent generiert und flexibel bereitgestellt werden können – unabhängig davon, ob die Zielumgebung in der Cloud, On-Premises oder hybrid betrieben wird.
Durch die Anbindung verschiedener Testwerkzeuge und -frameworks (z. B. Tosca, UiPath, JUnit) ist gewährleistet, dass sämtliche Tools auf identische synthetische Testdaten zugreifen und diese flexibel bestellen können. Dies ermöglicht eine einheitliche und effiziente Testdatennutzung im gesamten Testprozess, unabhängig vom eingesetzten Automatisierungswerkzeug und unabhängig davon, ob in der Cloud oder On-Premise.
Teilnehmende erfahren,
wie sich ein zentrales, systemunabhängiges und fachlich geprägtes Datenmodell aufbauen lässt,
welche architektonischen Elemente eine flexible Provisionierung per API-, Pipeline- oder Self-Service-Mechanismen ermöglichen,
und wie sich Anforderungen an Datenschutz, Effizienz und Reproduzierbarkeit in Einklang bringen lassen.
Das Ergebnis: eine skalierbare, sichere und automatisierbare Bereitstellung synthetischer Testdaten für innovative, plattformübergreifende Teststrategien – mit Offenheit für die Integration verschiedenster Testwerkzeuge.

When Testers Fix Bugs with Agentic AI
Today, testers report bugs — and wait for developers to fix them.
In our Lighthouse project, we’re exploring a future where testers no longer wait, but act: using agentic AI to analyze, generate, and apply bugfixes directly within the team’s development workflow.
This talk shares how we integrated tools like GitLab Duo, GitHub Copilot, and Telecontext (Deutsche Telekom’s MCP server) into our agile process so that testers can collaborate with AI instead of starting the traditional ticket cycle. You’ll learn how this changes roles, handovers, and team dynamics — and what happens when AI takes responsibility for real code changes.
At Swiss Testing Day, I will share openly whether this Lighthouse project was a success or not — including what worked well, what didn’t, and how we plan to adapt our approach in the future.

Testdaten und KI: Grenzen und Potenziale
Künstliche Intelligenz verändert die Welt des Testens weiterhin grundlegend – oft mit dem Versprechen, Komplexität drastisch zu reduzieren und Automatisierung zu vereinfachen. Doch wenn es um verlässliche Testdaten geht, stößt KI schnell an ihre Grenzen. Besonders das Reproduzieren seltener Fehler oder komplexer Ereigniskonstellationen erfordert die feine Detailtreue von Produktionsdaten – etwas, das KI alleine nicht leisten kann. Hinzu kommt eine häufig unterschätzte organisatorische Herausforderung: Unterschiedliche Datenkonsumenten wie Entwickler, Tester, Automatisierungsexperten oder ML-Ingenieure haben jeweils unterschiedliche Anforderungen. In diesem Spannungsfeld sind sowohl Fachwissen als auch Praxiserfahrung auf Seiten der Datenbereitstellung und -nutzung entscheidend. KI und Automatisierung können hier gezielt entlasten – vorausgesetzt, sie werden mit Bedacht und im Rahmen eines ganzheitlichen Ansatzes eingesetzt.
In diesem aufschlussreichen Vortrag beleuchten Christoph Stock und Jan Goebeler die Herausforderungen der Testdatenbereitstellung über verschiedene Umgebungen hinweg – abgestimmt auf die spezifischen Bedürfnisse der jeweiligen Konsumenten. Sie zeigen auf, wie sich technische und organisatorische Komplexität trennen lassen und in welchen Szenarien Künstliche Intelligenz echten Mehrwert bietet.

Game: Ups and Downs of GenAI
What do aviation and diagnostics have in common? There’s no such thing as a harmless mistake. A misplaced alert, a confusing step, a subtle ergonomic miss or even a small bug can have drastic real-world consequences.
Continuous testing keeps those moments from reaching the people who rely on us the most: Patients. As AI and immersive technologies reshape our systems, we’ve built the CX Lab, a space where digital design and physical validation come together from day one. Using immersive simulations and digital experience twins, we test the entire user journey before a single component is built.
This approach culminates in our “Customer Zero” Integration Lab, our ‘customer-before-the-customer’, for final, real-world validation. Join us to see how we define quality and pioneer change in a space where reliability is critical and customer Trust is everything.

From Business Relevance to Test Data Intelligence – AI as a Strategic Enabler
In complex domains like banking and insurance, where long-term customer trust and relationships are essential, a key challenge lies in designing business-relevant use cases and test data that reflect the real complexity of customer interactions. Personas serve as focal points for business goals — representing both typical and aspirational customer types across products, channels, and services.
Yet, the link between these business expectations and the technical implementation at data and system level is often missing. By combining data modeling with AI, this gap can be closed: AI enables us to describe personas in natural language and translate it into structured, synthetic test data – including e.g. plausible income, transactions, or credit profiles.
This bridges the gap between business logic and data reality, enabling automated, compliant and meaningful test scenarios. A session for everyone who wants to make testing not just faster, but smarter.

Test Transcendence and the AI Apocalypse
Test Transcendence and the AI Apocalypse delivers a bold and inspiring message for software testers ready to elevate their impact. While AI serves as a compelling illustration of today’s transformational forces, this session is ultimately about something much bigger: how testers can apply their unique skills to model risk, surface high-value insights, and influence critical decisions.
Drawing from decades of real-world experience, Rob Sabourin challenges outdated perceptions of testers as defect specialists or delivery blockers. Instead, he positions testers as extraordinary communicators of value, advocates for customers and stakeholders, and trusted partners in navigating uncertainty. This session empowers testers to step confidently into conversations that shape outcomes, protect trust, and help organizations thrive amid constant change.
