Modern software delivery calls for automation that is not only fast, but intelligent, adaptive, and insightful. Traditional scripting and manual test efforts cannot keep pace with today’s expectations for continuous delivery, performance at scale, and compliance readiness. This breakout focuses on how modern and intelligent functional and performance testing changes the way teams approach automation in practice, significantly lowering manual effort, shortening feedback cycles, and focusing engineering capacity on higher-value work. Through practical examples, you’ll see how intelligent automation enables teams to validate application functionality and performance earlier and more consistently, helping delivery teams move faster with greater confidence, without increasing risk or overhead.
