AI-Powered Regression & Load

Testing: A Deep Dive

In today's fast-paced software development environment, ensuring the reliability
and performance of applications is paramount. Regression and load testing are
critical components of the software testing lifecycle, but traditional methods can
be time-consuming, resource-intensive, and prone to human error. Artificial
intelligence (AI) offers a transformative solution, enhancing the efficiency,
accuracy, and scope of these testing processes. This presentation explores the
use of AI in regression and load testing, examining its benefits, challenges, real-
world applications, and automation techniques.
