    AI Augmented Testing with Avinash Tiwari

    AI Augmented Testing with Avinash Tiwari

    Today I wanted to share a popular webinar we recently had with Avinash Tiwari on AI Augmented Testing for Digital Apps.
    If you don't know, Avanash is a renowned thought leader, sought-after keynote speaker, and co-founder of pCloudy.com. He has 20+ years of experience in Product development and Testing. He brings a passion for emerging technology and quick adoption, which have solidified his reputation as a leader in the mobile app testing field.
    With an ever-increasing need for high-quality releases and feature-rich digital apps, the demand for a faster development life cycle has become a non-negotiable. Today the world is racing against time to get the best out of their apps, which has become the critical differentiator in the competitive app market. Of late, Artificial Intelligence-based Augmented Testing has taken center stage to show us ways to enhance and accelerate our efforts. While implementing various testing methodologies like DevOps, Continuous Integration, and Delivery has helped accelerate the process, there is still a lot of scope for improvement.

A MUST listen for all software QA professionals!

If you are a software QA professional, and in particular a test automation engineer, and you are NOT following the TestGuild, you are missing out! I listen to this podcast every week, and content Joe provides is awesome and valuable! Thanks Joe, for bringing “automation awesomeness” to the masses!!

Great way to stay current and get ahead in test automation

Joe is an awesome, fun, very personable interviewer and manages to book an impressive variety of guests from all over the test automation space. I was fortunate enough to be interviewed on one episode, and while I can't say I'm satisfied with my own interview performance (as one of those people who fears public speaking and cringes at the sound of my own recorded voice) I greatly enjoyed the conversation with Joe and look forward to chatting again sometime down the line. Needless to say, I'm a regular podcast listener as well! TestTalks is one of the best ways I've found to stay current on the test automation industry and practices.
