OPEN Session: Reducing Developer Toil: Agentic AI-driven Testing

Thursday February 13, 2025 10:30am - 10:55am PST

Animesh Mishra, Diffblue, Senior Solutions Engineer

Developer toil is real — days, even weeks, are spent conducting manual, repetitive, time-gobbling tasks like unit testing. And while GenAI coding assistants can support developers, they repeatedly fall short in performing complex TestQA tasks without human oversight.

The problem is compounded by the shortage of experienced testers, leaving developers drowning in QA testing rather than writing and innovating application code. Reports show 75% of developers’ time is spent on tasks other than code generation, resulting in 57% of developers admitting to skipping unit tests entirely.

For companies to succeed, code must be fool proof. So how can developers ensure testing is comprehensive and done with due diligence — and at scale?

The answer lies in reinforcement learning-based autonomous AI, which can eliminate up to 95% of the time developers typically spend on test writing. In this session, you will learn how to eliminate developer toil by automating manual and tedious test operations at scale (both locally and in CI), how the right tools can autonomously write and maintain unit tests for entire Java code bases, and how to ensure your unit tests for complex code are comprehensive.

This talk is designed for dev leaders looking to push the boundaries of what’s possible in Test/QA with emerging AI technology.

OPEN Session: Unlocking AI-Powered DevOps Within Your Organization

Thursday February 13, 2025 11:00am - 11:25am PST

AI DevWorld Stage

Jon Peck, GitHub, Technical Advocate & Software Developer

Software development is a team sport, with many different roles, where eveyone can win. But success isn't guaranteed; it depends on specific practices, policies, and tools which enable minimally-siloed, AI-accelerated collaboration across all parts of the DevOps process, from PM to development to CI/CD and security.

Discover the patterns and tools which lead to success, methods for changing the status quo, and perhaps a few horror stories. We'll touch on innersourcing, cloud development, AI, automation, governance, security, scaling and more -- with actionable learnings for everyone from small maintainer communities to F500 Enterprises.
