UAE QA Community Meetup Explores the Future of Software Testing with Generative AI

The UAE QA Community Meetup, held on November 26, 2025, at Downtown Workspace, Dubai, was a flagship knowledge-sharing event hosted by Codelattice in collaboration with the United Arab Emirates Software Testing Qualification Board (UAESTQB). The event brought together quality assurance professionals, automation engineers, IT decision-makers, and technology enthusiasts to explore how Generative AI is reshaping the future of software testing.

The highlight of the event was the introduction of ISTQB’s latest certification, “Certified Tester Specialist Level Testing with Generative AI (CT-GenAI)” This globally recognized module focuses on the practical application of AI in software testing, teaching professionals how to use Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI tools to improve test generation, risk analysis, documentation, automation, and defect prediction.

Abbas outlined the real-world use cases of GenAI in quality assurance, including:

• Generating high-quality test scenarios using prompt engineering
• Automatically identifying equivalence partitions and boundary conditions
• Creating test data by leveraging AI-driven transformations
• Detecting, predicting, and documenting defects more effectively
• Enhancing test coverage while accelerating test cycle times

One of the key takeaways of the meetup was the comparison between traditional testing and AI-empowered testing. While traditional testing relies on manual creation and execution of test cases, Generative AI enables testers to automate test planning, scenario design, and coverage analysis in seconds. This not only boosts productivity but also improves accuracy, cost-efficiency, and time-to-market.

The session also covered essential considerations such as ethical AI usage, addressing hallucinations, data privacy, and the importance of maintaining human oversight in AI-assisted testing. Abbas emphasized that AI is not replacing testers but empowering them to evolve into strategic quality engineers.

The meetup provided a strong networking opportunity for QA specialists and organizations in the UAE. Participants expressed interest in future learning workshops, certification programs, and collaborative initiatives to keep pace with rapid advancements in AI-driven testing.
