Mon 15 - Tue 16 April 2024 Lisbon, Portugal
co-located with ICSE 2024

Software testing requires discipline and attention to detail because it is monotonous and repetitive. At the same time, good testing is also a creative work of art. The software testing field has experienced a surge of recent advancements, fueled by generative AI. By automating the tedious and repetitive aspects of the work, AI is freeing up time and mental energy of engineers, letting them focus on the creative elements that elevate software quality. In this keynote, we’ll explore the nature of creativity in testing, drawing insights from other historically creative disciplines to illuminate the future of our field. We wonder: What can software testing learn from the use of generative AI in the visual and textual arts? I will encourage engineers working on testing to see their work through a new lens, embracing AI as a powerful tool to unleash their full creative potential in ensuring software excellence.
