What does Generative AI look like in Testing?
“AI driven solutions reduces the need for manual labor in repetitive tasks.” That is the headline.
“Predictive analytics” “Efficient Bug Hunting” “More Efficient Test Maintenance” “Optimized Test Coverage” “Scalability” are touted as core benefits.
But what could the real work look like? Spend some time with testing team leaders talking about the practical implications of applying GenAI concepts in a real testing organization. Join us for an interactive discussion on how Large Language Models may be able to truly accelerate a testing organization’s responsibility in such areas such as:
o Design Analysis
o Requirement Analysis
o TC Structure Gap Analysis
o Call Center Testing
-Generate user script
-Generate different voices for voice recognition
o Scenario Generation
o Text to SQL for queries for report/db testing
New Rule…Now What?
“Nothing is forever except change” – Buddha
In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare IT, the implementation of new federal rules or legislative mandates (such as interoperability rules, ICD code adoption, FHIR compliance, and claim form version upgrades) presents a significant challenge for Medicaid Agencies and payer systems. Testing teams play a crucial role in ensuring a smooth transition and compliance with these changes. This presentation aims to provide State Agency leaders and IT Managers with a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively react to externally mandated changes. Testing leaders will learn about the critical communication that should occur between project teams, operations teams, and Medicaid Agency leadership to facilitate a successful implementation of new rules.
Attendees will come away from this presentation, equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively manage change in the healthcare IT landscape and ensure compliance with the following key takeaways:
• Understanding the role that testing has within Medicaid Agencies
• Proactive instead of reactive strategies for changes
• Communication and early engagement of testing teams
• Organizational Change Management and Continuous Improvement
• Understanding and Identifying testing maturity within Medicaid Agencies
Outcome Based Certification: Evolutionary or Revolutionary Event?

As in all such journeys, it is critical to adjust or adapt, or end up in the evolutionary equivalent of a dead end. What do these adaptations look like, how do they affect the process in use?
Join us for a deep dive into how a Testing Organization adapts and informs projects in the ever changing landscape that is an MES
How a responsive test org:
• Improves the ability to monitor and measure the business outcomes of investments in technology
• Provides Key results data for funding
• Reduces Overhead/Administrative Burden
