‘Technology is evolving and transforming the way we build, change and operate complex platforms. To make sense of this new reality, we must understand how two forces – discovery and creation – evolve together, with inquiry driving better design and design opening new spaces for inquiry.’
At the A4Q Global Testing Summit 2026, in his talk – ‘The Dichotomy of AI Testing’ – @IosifItkin explored the antiparallel structures at the confluence of deep software testing and modern software engineering in the era of AI.
But what is a dichotomy in software testing and AI? When we consider two contrasting concepts – such as ‘Quality Assurance’ vs. ‘Testing’, ‘Manual’ vs. ‘Automated’, ‘Testing Mindset’ vs. ‘Development Mindset’ or ‘Humans’ vs. ‘AI’ – are we dealing with true dichotomies, false dichotomies or concepts that, in fact, exist on a spectrum?

What really happens when financial systems fail, and why does specialised testing – including non-functional testing – matter so much? How is AI reshaping everyday testing work? And what are the qualities that help software testers succeed, especially as AI becomes more widely used in development?
In the latest episode of the How to Test This Podcast, @IosifItkin, CEO and Co-founder of @exactpro and CTO of @murabex, joins Mamadou N'diaye to discuss what it actually takes to test mission-critical financial platforms operating under heavy load.
Iosif reflects on what led him into a career in software testing, the journey of building an independent software testing company operating across 25+ countries and the ideas, challenges and shifting perspectives shaping modern testing in the age of AI.

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.

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.
