Testing Trends 2026: From Theory to Practical Application

Our Roadshow Trends in Testing 2026 made it clear: Agentic AI has arrived in the testing field — and is evolving from a topic of discussion into practice.

What made the roadshow special was its clearly structured format. Instead of diving straight into new tools and possibilities, a shared understanding was established first. Terms, concepts, and relationships were clarified — a foundation that made it easier for participants to truly grasp and take away the subsequent content.

Building on this, presentations followed, along with practical examples in particular. This is exactly where it became tangible: Using concrete use cases, it was demonstrated how Agentic AI is already being used in test automation today — with the goal of making processes more efficient, increasing stability, and reducing the workload on teams. This combination of theory and application created a palpable sense of momentum. Many participants not only took away new inspiration but also very concrete ideas on how to further develop these approaches in their own projects. In addition to the technical content, it was above all the exchange of ideas that shaped the event. Conversations between sessions, new contacts, and familiar faces demonstrated how important personal dialogue is, especially when it comes to new technologies. 

With multiple sessions and consistently positive feedback, Trends in Testing 2026 was not only a technical success but also a place for inspiration, exchange, and new perspectives.

Our conclusion: If you truly want to advance new technologies in testing, you need more than just hype — namely, understanding, practical relevance, and open discussion about them.
