AI You Can Trust: Where Determinism Belongs in Modern Testing
AI is rapidly reshaping how teams build and test software. Large language models are accelerating authoring, analysis, and experimentation—but test execution is different. When automation supports release decisions, reliability and predictability matter more than novelty.
Join Adam Carmi, Applitools Co-Founder and the inventor of Visual Testing, as he explains why probabilistic systems that work well for generation introduce instability when used for execution. Drawing on over a decade of building AI for testing at scale, Adam outlines where generative AI adds value and why deterministic systems are essential for trusted automation.
Key takeaways:
- Why test execution is fundamentally different from test authoring and analysis
- How non-determinism impacts cost predictability, security boundaries, and release confidence
- Why tools and agents increase capability but do not eliminate execution risk
- A practical framework for deciding where AI belongs in your testing lifecycle
