QA Engineer in 2026: between Automation and AI, what's the future of our craft?
"Automation will replace manual testers." — 2015
"No-code tools will make QA Engineers obsolete." — 2019
"AI will generate all tests automatically." — 2023
And yet, the number of QA positions worldwide has kept growing.
This talk offers an honest, no-nonsense analysis of the transformations reshaping our profession: what is truly fading away, what is emerging, and how to position yourself to make the most of it.
What's on the agenda:
→ The 5 eras of QA: from manual testing to AI-augmented quality engineering
→ What AI already does well and what it will never do in our place (judgment, business context, accountability)
→ The 3 archetypes of tomorrow's QA: AI Quality Engineer, Quality Architect, Quality Coach
→ The skills matrix: which ones to develop as a priority, which ones to let go
→ A concrete 3-level roadmap to build your AI upskilling journey - using resources already available at AXA
This talk is designed to spark reflection, fuel debate, and help every attendee leave with a personal action plan.
