Hi, I’m Padma, and I’ve been working in testing for seven years. I use MOT to keep up with industry news. With AI changing so fast, I want to know how it’ll affect testing in the future and what I can learn to stay on top of my career
My name is Leah, I’ve been working in Software QA for almost 5 years now. I’ve been doing mostly manual/exploratory testing, with a little bit of test automation using Selenium and Cypress.
I am mostly interested in AI as a way to help with boring tasks that aren’t worth the time to automate them by hand. I haven’t done a lot of research into AI tools, since I wasn’t sure what to look for.
I am interested to learn how much AI can actually do at this point, and what is a realistic idea of how AI can help me with my daily work. I would also like to know if there are already tools out there using AI that were created with software testing in mind.

For the latest details about Neil Studd and his professional endeavors, checking his personal or professional social media profiles, blogs, or websites would be advisable.
It’s quite broad and non-committal (as ChatGPT tends to be with most things) but it’s broadly correct, although it’s downplaying my 20 years of testing experience. For the past couple of years I’ve been working as a coach at Makers, helping to train the next generation of developers/testers. I’m also part of the AI Working Group at Makers, helping to integrate AI-related material into our curriculum, so a month of hands-on practice will be professionally very beneficial!

Hi, I´m Claudia and I am currently working as a tester for a company that specializes in drug logistics and prescriptions. I haven´t used AI at all yet, so it will just be interesting to see how to use it to make work more efficient. Looking forward to getting a better idea of how AI works and how I can make use of it.
I’m Peet Michielsen (PeetRonics on the socials), and I’ve been working in IT since 1996, and in testing since 1999; originally from The Netherlands, but living and working in Scotland for the last 19 years. I currently work for a company in Switzerland, helping them setting up & improving their QA practices.
Heard a lot of AI, and how it can aide us in our day to day work, but not put anything in practice yet (part from using ChatGPT as a sparring partner.
I’m here to educate myself, and to enjoy the ride!!
I’m Ravi, a Senior Software Test Engineer with a keen interest in the intersection of technology and quality assurance. Over the years, I’ve been deeply involved in ensuring that software products meet high standards of reliability and functionality before reaching end-users.

I am Kaan Altıntaş, an electrical & electronics engineer who served in business analyst and technical purchasing specialist roles for a time, and is now working towards a career change to software test engineering as he previously envisioned. While I am honing my already existing skills with (related to programming, planning and tracking) and learning new ones, I’m also trying to figure out how exactly will the AI affect this role, and the newcomers like myself.
My interest in AI, for the most part, is to catch up with the requirements of the age, as I’m someone who loves doing what he does by himself, and have a slightly hard time being acquainted with the idea of copilots handling the brunt of the work. With the age of technology rapidly evolving, it is clear that the predefined roles in the sector will undergo a substantial change. While I’m currently studying for the ‘conventional’ testing requirements and skills, I believe that a majority of these skills will be overtaken by AI, so I’m also trying to analyse where the sector, people who already work in the sector and people who’ll begin their careers in this sector will go.
I believe that this amazing event will help me answer these questions step by step, and allow me to see the possibilities and innovations AI will bring in a new light. I also plan on getting substantially better to kick the new leg of my career off in a working place where I can both learn and contribute to the best of my ability, and the skills I learn along the way to enable me to acquire new skills - this time related to AI and the direction it will take us all to.
I hope to interact a lot with all testing enthusiasts during this event and beyond. Best regards to everyone!
It’s great to be here with all of you. I’m excited to learn from each other during this 30-day challenge.

Hi everyone! I’ve been an MOT member/watcher for xx-years. I manage teams of testers in multi-geo-locations.
AI-augmentation for QA/testing is my interest, a broad spectrum I know. For now, I want to focus on GenAI for test ideation. Getting better at prompting is an aim, as well as exposure to tools. As an aside, my team is using MS co-pilot and an in-house OpenAI implementation.
Aloha everyone!
