Streaming platforms operate in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment where quality, reliability, and seamless user experience are non-negotiable. Ensuring smooth playback, handling high traffic surges, and maintaining low latency present unique challenges that require robust testing and release strategies. This session will explore the fundamentals of testing live and on-demand content, scaling automation, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring stability across diverse devices and network conditions.

Signaling a focus on future-proofing skills and adapting to evolving technologies, which would resonate well with testers aiming to stay competitive. Gen AI will be discussed in depth for the audience to relieve the fear of AI. Various testing concepts implemented through Gen AI. A big shoutout to our sponsor BrowserStack for all their support in helping to do these events at such a scale.
