Functionality, data, performance, security \u2013 we want to cover it all, and we never have enough hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I threw an API schema at an LLM and said: &#8220;go.&#8221; Ten seconds later, I had some test cases. Ten minutes more \u2013 I had test data, setup scripts, assertions, even a Jira bug report template. But it based the tests on assumptions that it made, and <em>generated 700 lines of unverified test code.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this talk, I&#8217;ll show how AI can help across API testing activities \u2013 planning, case suggestions, data preparation, test generation, refactoring, analysis, and reporting. You&#8217;ll see every prompt, every response, and every place where testing judgment caught what the AI missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI gives you speed. Testing gives you the judgment to use it. That&#8217;s the shift: from doing all the testing to validating what the machines produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For anyone who works with APIs and wants to see what AI actually changes about testing them \u2013 <em>not someday, today.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About your speaker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/gilzilberfeld\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Gil Zilberfeld<\/a> has been a software practitioner since the days of his Sinclair ZX81.
