Human-Machine Collaboration: Redefining Visual Testing with AI
2025-03-01 , Raigad Room (Chanakya Building / School of Business)

Ever since the invent of AIs, development of applications is in rapid pace. As a developer or as a quality engineer, now it became really essential to provide and ensure consistent and visually appealing user experience.

We often use conventional manual testing methods to test the visual changes. Even though it is reliable, it is time consuming and prone to human errors.

This presentation will explore how AI powered visual testing can empower the software development/quality engineering with efficient and human centric approach.

We will deep dive into the core principles of visual regression testing,

1.Image comparison algorithms: Understanding how AI algorithms can detect visual discrepancies even the subtle ones.
2.Machine learning models: Exploring how AI models can learn and adapt to the visual characteristics of different applications improving accuracy and reducing false positive.
3.Human-in-the-loop approach: Discussing how important the human oversight in AI-driven testing which ensures that the technology complements human expertise rather than replacing it.

By joining this talk, we will also get to know how one can leverage AI to improve their software development process and deliver exceptional user experience.

Key takeaways for audience:
1. Improved efficiency: How AI can significantly reduce testing time and effort.
2. Enhanced quality: How AI can help identify/ address visual defects early in the development process.
3. Faster time to market: How AI can accelerate the development and release process by automating visual testing and reducing the risk of visual regressions.
