About the Session
As the world of testing evolves, AI-driven and agentic frameworks are redefining what “end-to-end” truly means. In this session, Doug Bowen and Alessandro De La Garza from Slalom will deep-dive into Agentic E2E Test Frameworks — a modern approach that blends automation, intelligence, and adaptability.
They’ll explore how agent-based systems can orchestrate test actions, self-heal failures, and optimize coverage dynamically — moving beyond static, brittle automation toward smarter, self-sufficient testing systems.
Expect real-world insights from enterprise implementations, practical examples, and a peek into how AI is actively shaping the next generation of automation frameworks.
Key Takeaways
- Understand what Agentic E2E Test Frameworks are and how they work
- Learn how AI and agent-based systems are transforming automation
- Explore real-world implementation insights from enterprise projects
- Discover the next step in building resilient, scalable test systems
