Testing Craftsmanship Evolving in the Age of AI | Toronto Meetup

**Testing Craftsmanship Evolving in the Age of AI \| Toronto Meetup** AI isn't replacing testers, it's reshaping what testing craftsmanship means. After two decades of watching the discipline evolve, one thing has stayed constant: the testers who win are the ones who keep growing their judgment, not just their tool stack. Join The Test Tribe's 15th Toronto Meetup for a deep, honest look at where testing craftsmanship is headed as AI reshapes the role, and what still can't be automated away. **Event Details** ● Date: 26 August 2026 ● Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET ● Venue: [20 Toronto St, Toronto, ON M5C 2B8, Canada](https://maps.app.goo.gl/WUfTxyU1LuVJfX1Y6) **What's on the Agenda?** **Testing Craftsmanship Evolving in the Age of AI** **Speaker: Jacky Zhang, Test Architect, General Motors** Drawing on two decades of hands-on experience in automation, computer vision, OCR, and large-language-model experimentation, Jacky traces how testing craftsmanship has evolved through major technology shifts, and argues that AI is the next transformation, not a total disruption. He'll unpack the real barriers to AI adoption in testing, hallucination, limited generalization, compliance constraints, infrastructure cost, and unclear ROI, and make the case that lasting testing value still depends on stable engineering foundations, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of quality goals and human needs. **How This Meetup Solves Your Problem** If your team is being asked to "adopt AI in testing" without a clear picture of what that actually means day to day, this session cuts through the hype. Jacky offers a grounded, practitioner's view of where AI genuinely helps, where it falls short, and how testers can evolve from script executors into quality strategists, knowledge architects, and human-centered risk explorers. **Why You Should Show Up** * Understand which testing foundations remain essential even as AI capabilities grow. * Get a clear-eyed view of AI's real barriers: hallucination, generalization, compliance, cost, and ROI. * Learn how to reframe your own role as AI reshapes what "testing" means. * Meet fellow testers, automation engineers, and QA leaders from Toronto's testing community. **Become a Speaker at The Test Tribe events** Wish to share your insights with the community at a future event?

Model Mondays - Spotlight On Model router in Microsoft Foundry

AI agents rarely rely on a single model to solve every task. In this episode of Model Mondays, we'll explore how model router helps developers apply a hill-climbing approach to agent development by continuously finding better models for different steps in a workflow. Learn how to evaluate models, compare performance across providers and model families, and dynamically route requests to the model best suited for each task. Through discussions and demos, we'll show how model router helps agents improve quality, efficiency, and cost by treating model selection as an ongoing optimization process rather than a one-time decision. *** * [Explore the Resources](https://github.com/microsoft/model-mondays) * [Read the Newsletter](https://aka.ms/model-mondays/newsletter) * [Continue the conversation on the Discord](https://aka.ms/model-mondays/discord)
