Sauce Labs experts Ashwini Sathe and Senior Solutions Engineer Parth Patel explore one of modern development's biggest paradoxes: AI-powered development has made shipping faster than ever — so why is maintaining quality getting harder?

In this session, Ashwini and Parth unpack how enterprises can move fast and ship with confidence, drawing on exclusive findings from the Sauce Labs State of Mobile App Quality Report. From scaling automation challenges and coverage gaps to device management costs and limited production visibility, they reveal the real barriers standing between your team and true release confidence.

You'll also get a practical breakdown of the four stages of automation maturity — from manual-only workflows all the way to agentic, autonomous testing — so you can pinpoint exactly where your organization stands and chart a clear path forward.

Parth introduces an evolved testing pyramid built for today's mobile landscape, balancing high-frequency automation, experience and performance testing, targeted human beta validation, and unified SDLC insights — all designed to shift your team from reactive firefighting to proactive quality ownership.

The session also features a live Sauce Labs demo showcasing:

  • Parallel real-device testing at scale
  • Rich diagnostics including video, logs, network traces, and device vitals
  • Analytics to surface flakiness and failure patterns before they reach production
  • IDE-based private device sessions for seamless developer workflows
  • MCP-assisted retrieval of failed test results for faster root cause analysis
