Scaling testing & test automation without losing control
About the talk
As organizations scale, so do their software systems, development velocity, and testing complexity. According to the Nelson report each sector is growing at a greater speed with BFSI sector taking the lead. Growth comes with its own challenges specially for test
engineers, scaling testing and test automation effectively to meet the growing demands is not just about adding more tests or increasing execution speed—it’s about maintaining oversight, ensuring reliability, and preventing chaos. Without a deliberate strategy, teams risk an explosion of fragile tests, unreliable results, and diminishing confidence in their quality processes.
This talk will explore how to scale testing and automation with an intelligent test management techniques while preserving control and maintaining trust in the process. Attendees will gain insights into architectural patterns that prevent test sprawl, data-driven approaches to optimize test execution, and techniques to align automation with evolving system complexity.
By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with actionable strategies to scale your testing efforts without losing sight of quality, coverage, or control—ensuring that growth in automation translates into real value rather than operational debt.
Key Takeaways:
- How grow test management strategically
- Discover patterns and governance models
- How to balancing control and autonomy in testing and test automation.
