AI agents reason across steps, call tools, use enterprise context and take action on their own. Conventional QE was not built to independently prove that behavior — and QE itself has to keep pace with the agents it's checking. We think that's QE's next mandate.
Increasingly capable agents reason across steps, use tools and touch enterprise systems in ways conventional regression testing was never designed to evaluate.
One governed Harness. Two different missions: independently assure AI systems, and use governed agents to compress the QE lifecycle itself.
Independently test systems where "correct" is not always binary.
Use governed agents to remove QE work from the critical path.
Individual agents are easy to create. The enterprise problem is proving how they behave — what context they use, what they're permitted to do, and how outcomes are measured.
Atomic, reusable QE agents for eval engineering and AI-behavior validation, plus test generation and automation — embedded directly in your IDE. No vendor lock-in.
25+ Skills · Onboarding in 2–3 DaysThe governed layer: project-specific context, centralized Agent Skills, RBAC and integration with Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps and Jenkins through an MCP layer.
Context + Governance + SDLC IntegrationQE architects fluent in both disciplines — automation for SDLC acceleration, and eval engineering for AI QE — because AI-led QE fails if either is missing.
QE Architects + AI-Ready EngineeringApexon has measured outcomes from QE automation and modernization engagements. AI-system assurance is the newer discipline — we'll demonstrate it live rather than manufacture a case-study number.
Targeted regression-suite automation reached 100% in six months, with a 45% productivity gain, in an energy engagement.
A digital-banking engagement delivered 40% lower automation-led QE cost and 60% lower test-maintenance effort.
A regulated U.S. financial-services engagement reached compliant synthetic test-data coverage and cut testing cycle time 40%.
An AI assurance framework — groundedness, permissions, policy and escalation.
Two scorecards: behavioral reliability for AI; cycle time and economics for Agentic QE.
A reference Harness architecture spanning context, skills, RBAC and human gates.
A governance checklist for scaling autonomous QE and releasing agentic systems.
Primary: QE and Engineering leaders who own automation coverage, cycle time and release confidence. Also relevant: AI Platform, Product, Security and Governance leaders who need independent evidence that agentic systems behave as intended — and CTOs accountable for release velocity and AI product risk.

No. We will show our architecture because that is the easiest way to make the discussion concrete, but the session is designed to stand on its own. Bring your own QE problem, challenge the approach, and take whatever is useful back to your team.
Yes — sent to every registrant, whether or not you attend live.
Because the value is not the individual agent. The harness supplies reusable QE skills, enterprise context, tool access, orchestration, governance, human gates and measurement. It is what allows agentic QE to move from isolated engineer productivity to a repeatable operating model.
Using AI to test means orchestrating agents to reduce the effort and cycle time of QE work. Testing AI means evaluating the behavior of models and agents themselves — groundedness, hallucination, bias, safety, tool use and non-deterministic outputs. They share a harness, but they require different test logic and different success measures.
QE, automation and engineering leaders accountable for productivity, automation coverage, cycle time, release confidence and QE cost — plus AI and agentic product leaders who need a QE discipline that actually understands non-determinism, not a regression suite repurposed for something it wasn't built for.
