With almost 20 years in software testing, Kat Obring has a unique perspective gained from her diverse background, including a previous career as a chef. She is passionate about collaborative testing practices and has honed her skills at companies like Linden Lab (Second Life), Disney Online, Anaplan, Infinity Works, and Accenture. Today, she empowers testers to shift left through her online courses and 1:1 coaching, while advising engineering managers on effective testing strategies. Kat is a sought-after speaker at tech conferences, sharing her insights on achieving both speed and quality in software delivery.
Many testers skilled in manual testing find transitioning to automation daunting, and don’t know how to overcome the initial barriers to getting started, such as understanding API interaction and generating effective test data.
The latest generation of generative AI tools like Gemini (Google) and ChatGPT (OpenAI) can act as personalized mentors, guiding your learning path and helping you integrate automation into your existing testing practices.
While I have no fear that genAI is going to replace human quality engineers anytime soom, I do think it has a lot to offer for those who want to learn and benefit from this technology.
