ABOUT THE EVENT

Theme: AI-Driven SQA Revolution

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are forcing changes in multiple fronts of software-enabled/software-driven systems from how systems are developed, to how systems are deployed, and to how users interact with the systems. In turn, these necessitate many changes in the practices of Software Quality Assurance (SQA), including software testing. The significance and speeds of these changes are taking place in very much a revolution in its own rights.

In the previous edition of SOFTECAsia conference, we delved into the topics of how AI technologies are changing the landscape of SQA and Software Testing specifically – in a bird’s-eye view, from a perspective of technology development.

At SOFTECAsia 2025, lets looks at things from another angle. Take the perspective of SQA and Software Testing practices and practitioners. Rather than wait for the ‘enforcement’ the reach your doorstep, lets be proactive and be at the forefront of the ‘revolution’. At SOFTECAsia 2025, focus will be outlining ways on how SQA practitioners and Software Test professionals can leverage on AI technologies to elevate their practices to higher levels. Be part of the revolution!
