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Drawing from decades of real-world experience, Rob Sabourin challenges outdated perceptions of testers as defect specialists or delivery blockers.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.
