How AI Helps Test Managers Elevate Their Professional Impact

Bo Dresler

Jan Riis Sørensen

16:00 - 16:45 CEST Wednesday 4th June

As test managers, we are tasked with developing and communicating effective test strategies and plans, ensuring high-quality test cases, and reporting status at levels that our stakeholders can understand. However, much of our specialized expertise is consumed by administrative tasks, leaving limited time for critical testing activities. Reporting, especially when integrating storytelling and defect traceability analysis, is often time-consuming.

This presentation explores how AI can act as a useful assistant under our guidance, helping us automate and streamline basic writing, data analysis, and reporting tasks. By leveraging AI, we can improve efficiency and focus more on challenging aspects that truly require our testing knowledge, resulting in increased motivation and job satisfaction. We will describe several key use cases, including maturity assessments, estimation, test strategy writing, defect analysis, and reporting.

By integrating AI tools, we can reduce the burden of repetitive tasks, allowing us to direct our expertise where it is most impactful. AI acts as a helpful secretary under our command, providing support for maturity assessments to deliver faster, data-driven insights, while AI assistance in test strategy writing can help generate initial drafts that we can refine, saving valuable time. Estimation processes can also be enhanced by AI’s ability to analyze historical data and suggest realistic timeframes. For defect analysis and reporting, AI can help aggregate and visualize data, making it easier to identify trends and communicate findings clearly.

Attendees will witness a live demonstration of an AI-assisted test management use case, showcasing how AI is transforming our workflows. This is not about replacing the role of a test manager but reducing tedious tasks, spending less time on reporting and making our roles more professionally rewarding. Join us to see how we use AI as an artificial assistant, letting us focus on putting our years of experience to good use.
