About the event
Building the Next Generation of Autonomous Software Development
AI is changing software development by helping teams generate code faster, automate repetitive tasks, and accelerate delivery. However, faster development also introduces new challenges around code quality, testing coverage, API reliability, and the risks of releasing software without sufficient validation.
Autonomous software development takes this evolution further. AI agents can support testing, identify defects, generate test cases, validate application behaviour, and connect quality checks across development workflows. The challenge is to make these capabilities work reliably within existing tools, processes, and governance frameworks.
This summit will bring together software engineering, QA, DevOps, and technology leaders to explore how organisations can adopt autonomous development practices while keeping human oversight, application integrity, and business outcomes at the centre.
Explore how autonomous AI agents are changing software engineering workflows.
Understand how to connect AI-assisted coding with continuous quality assurance.
Discover practical approaches to autonomous test creation and execution.
Improve API quality, testing coverage, and integration reliability.
Reduce repetitive manual testing and ongoing test maintenance.
Identify defects earlier through continuous validation and monitoring.
Integrate autonomous QA into CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows.
Maintain security, governance, and human oversight across AI-driven development.
Measure the impact of AI adoption on software quality and release performance.
Build a scalable roadmap for autonomous software delivery.
The goal is to help technology teams move beyond simply generating code faster and build a development lifecycle where speed, quality, and confidence advance together.
