💡 Using AI for Streamlining Regulatory Compliance Solutions in Financial Organisations: The Pros, the Cons and Other Cogs
📅 30 June
🕑 2:00 PM (GMT+4)
The session will explore how AI-enabled tools can be used to develop, test and maintain compliance solutions across regulated finance, including banking, trading venues, clearing and settlement systems, payment infrastructures and RegTech platforms. Drawing on industry experience, the lecture will cover AI-assisted development, rule mapping, automated coverage analysis, regulatory change management and conformance automation frameworks, while also highlighting the limitations and risks of AI in regulated financial environments.

In the special edition of our AI Testing Talks webinar series, we were pleased to be joined by Michael Bolton for a Fireside Chat about the principles and philosophy behind Rapid Software Testing (RST).
Held in a conversational format, the session covered different viewpoints on software testing, what sets this term and occupation apart from “QA”, approaches to reporting technical findings to stakeholders and how the evolution of AI is reshaping testing practices and the role of testers, among other topics.

📢 On 27 May at 10:00 CEST, join @exactpro's @IosifItkin at the A4Q Global Testing Summit for his talk ‘The Dichotomy of AI Testing’.
The ability to build, change and operate complex AI-powered platforms has become a key competitive advantage. Understanding this new reality requires recognising how discovery and creation evolve together.
In this session, Iosif will discuss the antiparallel structures at the confluence of deep software testing and modern software engineering in the era of artificial intelligence, where understanding and building are inseparable and progress in one domain impacts the other.

What is “software testing”? What sets this term and occupation apart from “QA”? How should test results be reported? How much simplification is acceptable when presenting technical findings to stakeholders without losing important truths about the system?
These were some of the topics explored during the special edition of our AI Testing Talks webinar series, where Michael Bolton – a consulting software tester, testing trainer and co-author of “Taking Testing Seriously: The Rapid Software Testing Approach” (Wiley, 2025) – joined us for a Fireside Chat on the principles, practices and philosophy behind Rapid Software Testing (https://t.co/wgEUFGePfL).
Held in a Q&A format, the session challenged common industry assumptions, explored differing viewpoints within the testing community and discussed how the evolution of AI is reshaping testing practices and the role of testers, including the ongoing debate around whether AI can truly replace human testers.

What does it take to test high-performance trading systems where microsecond-level latency and stability under load are critical? It requires purpose-built tools capable of sustaining millions of messages per second, simulating realistic market behaviour, supporting multiple financial protocols and producing actionable performance reports.
At The 14th International Workshop on Load Testing and Benchmarking of Software Systems (LTB 2026) in Florence, @exactpro's Alyona Bulda, SVP, Emerging Technologies, presented a paper ‘Beyond Message Injection: Advanced Load Testing Capabilities for Trading Systems with th2-shark’, co-authored with @IosifItkin, CEO & Co-founder of Exactpro. The workshop was co-located with ICPE 2026 – the 17th ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering.
In her presentation, Alyona introduced th2-shark (aka Loader), our high-throughput load generation and benchmarking tool built for high data volumes prone to fluctuations. Its core principle is to ensure test scenarios are expressive, portable and impose minimal overhead on the system under test.

‘According to UN Development Programme data, 68% of the population and 60% of entrepreneurs in Uzbekistan are not prepared to use traditional banking products for religious reasons.’ (Source: https://t.co/8NZV506qe2) This reflects the demand for Islamic finance not only on the economic, but also on the social level, as the authors remark. A better legal framework coupled with an expanded financial instrument offering has the potential to boost financial inclusion.
What this reveals is a clear gap between demand and the financial infrastructure needed to support it. As Islamic finance scales and new asset classes emerge, well-built technology should be a key facilitator.

Wishing you a Happy May the 4th.
Today’s prediction highlights the challenge of navigating uncertainty, with the likelihood of success set at 3,720 to 1. Fortunately, history suggests that confidence, timing and a little rebellion can outperform even the longest odds.

In less than a month, the A4Q - Alliance for Qualification Global Testing Summit 2026 will bring the testing community together to explore the latest trends shaping the future of software testing.
On 27 May at 10:00 CEST, join @IosifItkin for his talk – 'The Dichotomy of AI Testing'.
A few days in Toronto and a lot to take away. Our team left @TheWFE's #WFEClear 2026 with fresh perspectives, valuable connections and plenty of ideas to reflect on.
Across sessions, the focus was on how clearing and derivatives markets are evolving, with discussions covering a broad range of topics including the growing role of AI in risk modelling, the impact of tokenization, the rise of prediction markets, evolving regulatory approaches and the continued shift toward a 24/7 digital future.
We were delighted to once again support the community and connect with peers across the industry. Thank you to the organisers and to everyone who took the time to connect with our team – @IosifItkin, Thomas H. Toller, Elena Treshcheva (@_etres) and Pavel Medvedev.

What does software engineering actually mean today? For a long time, the measure was simple: understand what needs to be built, build it well, deliver it on time. AI hasn’t changed those fundamentals – it has changed the speed of execution.
And when the speed of execution is no longer the bottleneck, a harder question surfaces: what determines whether systems are stable, maintainable and don’t collapse under their own complexity?
We’ve developed the Five-Tier Contribution Value Framework for our own engineering team – a map of where real engineering value lives in 2026, redefining what kind of contribution truly moves the needle in an AI-shaped software development.
Every system is shaped by the decisions engineers make every day: what to focus on, what to prioritise and what to postpone. In this new reality, those choices matter more than ever – for organisations adapting to these challenges and for engineers whose careers depend on them. This framework is designed to help both reflect on contribution and where the most impact is created.

❓‘Our regression library is large, and we have full traceability... Why do we still face defects in production?’ ❓‘Our system meets all of its initial SLAs. Isn't that enough?’ If these questions resonate with you, read on for answers from Alyona Bulda (@albulda) and Dmitry Kolpakov.

‘The ability to build, change and operate complex platforms powered by AI has become a key competitive advantage. Making sense of this new reality requires understanding how two forces – discovery and creation – evolve together: inquiry drives better design and design opens new spaces for inquiry.’ In this session, Iosif will talk about the ‘antiparallel structures at the confluence of deep software testing and modern software engineering in the era of artificial intelligence, where understanding and building are inseparable and progress in one domain impacts the other.’
