The role of software Quality has evolved over the last two decades. Once viewed as a gatekeeper and custodian, QA is now considered as a catalyst for digital transformation. Recent technology trends such as intelligent applications and Generative AI, Iot and Phygital, Platform engineering and Cloud, and Continuous Exposure Management are pushing the role of Quality into the next stage of evolution – that of an ambassador for convergence and a guardian for software intelligence. We will explore this evolution and the ever-increasing relevance that Quality has in the exciting future ahead.

As organizations embrace the DevOps revolution, testers are undergoing a profound transformation from being traditional Quality Assurance enforcers to becoming champions of Quality Engineering. DevOps, and more recently DevSecOps is reshaping the testing landscape, ultimately leading to enhanced software quality, faster delivery cycles, and a more integrated approach to product development. The identity of testers is changing in the context of DevOps, exploring the convergence of development, operations, and quality assurance. The paradigm shift is from traditional testing practices to holistic quality engineering, where testers collaborate across teams, proactively engage in continuous feedback loops, actively shape testing strategies and embed quality measures throughout the development lifecycle. Through case studies and practical insights, participants will gain understanding of how testers are embracing this identity shift, contributing to improved software quality, shorter release cycles, and the overall success of DevOps initiatives.
