"AI and Automation in Testing"

The topics cover two key areas:

1. Dynamic Agent Creation:
Agentic generative AI can create specialized AI agents on demand to perform specific tasks.
These agents are designed to work autonomously using algorithms and models tailored to particular testing needs.

2. Intelligent Test Case Generation:
The generative AI system can generate comprehensive and highly effective test cases autonomously by leveraging algorithms and natural language processing. This goes beyond simple automation, allowing for more adaptive and context-aware test creation.
