Session: Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers
1 May 2026 10:30 AM | The Matrix - Theatre 15 (10, 11)
Track: Software Quality & Delivery
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it’s now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn’t go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas.
In this session we’ll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we’ve assigned them to do.
By the time we’re done, you’ll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
