Intent-Based Testing: Moving Beyond Static Scripts in the Age of AI
Speaker: Don Jackson | Technical Evangelist at Perforce | September 24, 2026 - 3:00pm to 3:45pm PST
AI-driven development is accelerating software delivery faster than traditional test automation can keep pace. Static scripts are brittle, costly to maintain, and quickly fall behind rapidly changing applications, creating a widening AI velocity gap, a rising maintenance burden, and a growing skills bottleneck.
Even AI-powered copilots and self-healing approaches fall short. They still depend on human-in-the-loop approval and introduce context-switching friction, further compounding the skills bottleneck — as more scripts require work, the demand for skilled engineers to handle triage and upkeep only grows.
This session introduces intent-based testing: a decisive shift from script-centric execution to outcome-driven validation grounded in business intent, context, and constraints. Rather than chasing broken scripts, teams validate what the application is meant to do.
Attendees will learn how intent-based testing forms a continuous, adaptive loop that reduces maintenance, strengthens resilience, and aligns quality with the pace of modern delivery, all while supporting scalable coverage and measurable ROI across diverse tech stacks.
