SAN FRANCISCO and NOIDA, India — TestMu AI, operating as an agentic AI-powered quality engineering platform, has concluded the fifth edition of its annual Testµ Conference. The three-day virtual summit focused on discussions surrounding agentic engineering and quality, aiming to establish an industry vision for the transition toward autonomous software development.
The event recorded a global turnout, gathering over 75,000 registrations from testers, developers, engineering leaders, and AI/ML professionals across more than 120 countries. According to the company, the summit saw active participation with over 10,000 attendees joining the various sessions.
The conference agenda featured leaders and technical speakers from prominent global enterprises and technology companies, including Microsoft, Meta, Replit, Databricks, Glean, Hinge Health, Salesforce, and Piramal Finance. Notable speakers included Luis Héctor Chávez, CTO at Replit; Francesca Lazzeri from Microsoft; Thomas Dohmke, Co-Founder and CEO of Entire; and Dona Sarkar from Microsoft, alongside engineering representatives from Meta, Glean, Hinge Health, and Databricks.
Across 96 sessions, panels, and workshops, participants discussed three primary industry takeaways. First, the industry noted that trust in AI-driven systems must be actively engineered through rigorous evaluations, verification layers, and continuous validation as AI agents take on more engineering tasks. Second, discussions emphasized that agentic workflows need production-grade quality gates, observability, and governance to transition successfully from pilot projects to mission-critical production environments. Finally, attendees highlighted the importance of the human quality layer, noting that engineering leaders must establish the operating models and cultures necessary to supervise AI tools effectively.
Asad Khan, CEO and Co-Founder of TestMu AI, stated that the conference marked a shift toward responsible engineering of agentic AI. He noted that the discussions and shared insights are expected to influence how software is built, tested, and shipped over the coming decade.
The event received support from an ecosystem of technology and consulting partners, including Accenture, Capgemini, LTIMindtree, Microsoft, Persistent, and Wipro.
Following the conclusion of the 2026 event, TestMu AI announced that the sixth annual Testµ Conference is scheduled to take place from August 24 to August 26, 2027.
"The large scale of participation at the TestMu Conference highlights how rapidly software development and testing priorities are shifting toward automation and agentic AI. For enterprises and startups alike, integrating AI into quality engineering is no longer just an experimental exercise; it requires structured governance, robust verification, and clear production-grade safeguards. Events that bring global engineering leaders together to address these operational challenges play a critical role in shaping industry standards for the next phase of software delivery." — Dr. Shishir Gupta, Founder & CEO, StartupLanes
