AI-Enhanced Roadmap to Code Quality & Compliance

Feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of manual test cases you’re expected to run in a short time frame? It’s a common problem. Manual regression testing often turns into a race against the clock—forcing testers to choose between running everything or taking shortcuts and risking bugs slipping through the cracks. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn how intelligent automated test selection helps manual testers focus only on the tests impacted by application changes. By running the right tests—not all the tests—you’ll save time, reduce repetitive effort, and gain confidence that critical defects won’t be missed. 

The result: faster cycles, fewer escapes, less stress, and stronger releases. 

Join our panel of industry experts as they share practical strategies to make every test run count and keep manual regression testing aligned with Agile development. 

-Learn how to run only the tests that have been impacted by code changes  

-Hear how intelligent focused test selection keeps manual regression testing in sync with Agile development 

-Discover how smarter testing means less stress and faster releases you can trust

Too Many Tests, Too Little Time: Smarter Ways to Tackle Manual Regression Testing

The rapid evolution of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) is transforming automotive development, bringing unprecedented complexity, integration challenges, and safety expectations. Traditional software testing practices no longer keep pace. 

This webinar explores how modern, automated, and AI-enhanced testing approaches are redefining quality assurance for embedded automotive systems. Learn how extending GoogleTest with Parasoft’s tools makes safety-critical validation seamless and efficient, empowering teams to accelerate innovation without compromising safety, security, or compliance. 

Join us to learn how to: 

Shift testing left to detect defects earlier with static analysis and automated unit testing. 

Integrate safety, security, and compliance into your development pipeline with CI/CD-driven workflows. 

Leverage AI and machine learning to prioritize critical issues, suggest intelligent fixes, and streamline compliance reporting. 

Extend open-source frameworks like GoogleTest for safety-critical verification and validation.

Modernizing Software Testing for Embedded Systems in SDVs

Panel Discussion: Featuring Guest Speaker Diego Lo Giudice, VP & Analyst at Forrester Research

AI-powered testing is growing, but manual testing is taking a different trajectory. From writing and repeating tests to reviewing AI output and acting as an orchestrator, the tester’s role is shifting. How do you know what should stay manual, and where you can reliably use AI to help you today? 

Join Nathan Jakubiak of Parasoft and guest speaker, Diego Lo Giudice of Forrester Research,for a fireside chat on market trends, including why ‘vibe coding’ requires ‘vibe testing’, and the evolving role of QA in an AI-driven software development lifecycle (SDLC).

You’ll get new perspectives on:

• The evolving role of manual testers. Why testers remain essential, and how adopting AI and developing prompt engineering skills will keep you relevant in the AI era.

• AI’s impact on the testing pyramid. How teams can apply AI to scale testing benefits while preserving the structure of proven methodologies.

What Sets a Top API Testing Solution Apart? Panel Discussion with GigaOm Research

How do you prove an autonomous flight system is safe, certifiable ready, and reliable – and do it faster – without the time and cost of designing a new aircraft from scratch?  

For Ribbit, a startup developing an autonomous autopilot for remotely piloted cargo aircraft, the answer was a proven-through-use strategy and retrofit approach. Fly real missions under remote supervision, produce evidence at every step, and build trust with regulators and customers. Allowing Ribbit to serve rural, remote, and coastal regions where traditional avionic options fall short. 

In this live fireside chat, Ribbit shares how they balanced rapid innovation with safety-critical rigor, resulting in over $1M in government contracts and approval for unmanned test flights. Their engineering team embedded compliance into the development workflow from day one and they are here to tell you all about it. 

They’ll discuss:  
•  Balancing rapid prototyping with safety-critical rigor in aerospace development  
•  Embedding compliance into CI/CD workflows to accelerate certification readiness  
•  Gaining regulatory confidence and a competitive advantage through standardized coding practices  

Hear how a proven-through-use strategy helped a small team outpace larger, better-funded competitors. And in the process lay the groundwork for a scalable, certifiable future in autonomous aviation.

A Modern Approach to Balancing Innovation and Safety in Autonomous Flights

GoogleTest is widely recognized as the de facto standard for unit testing in C++, prized for its flexibility, modern syntax, and seamless integration with popular development toolchains. However, GoogleTest alone doesn’t meet the rigorous compliance standards for traceability, code coverage, and certification required in regulated industries, like automotive, aerospace, medical, and rail. 

Join us for this informative webinar where we’ll explore how to successfully adopt GoogleTest in safety-critical development environments. You'll learn how Parasoft C/C++test CT enhances GoogleTest with powerful capabilities such as requirements traceability, MC/DC coverage, compliance reporting, and support for CI/CD pipelines. 

Discover how to leverage GoogleTest’s simplicity and readability while ensuring your testing workflow remains compliant, maintainable, and scalable. 

Key Takeaways 
• Best practices for using GoogleTest in regulated industries 
• How C/C++test CT extends GoogleTest with compliance-critical capabilities 
• What to consider before adopting GoogleTest in safety-critical projects 
• Insights into TÜV certification of GoogleTest

Integrating GoogleTest in Safety-Critical Systems With Confidence

Testing slows down when services you depend on aren’t ready, are unreliable, or aren’t easy to access. Service virtualization helps by simulating those missing or unstable dependencies—so you can keep testing, find issues sooner, and release faster.   

The ROI is proven: QA Financial found service virtualization increased defects found during QA by 33%, reduced critical defect escape ratio by 74%, and accelerated time to market by 40%. 

The challenge? It’s often too technical to scale without developer help. Until now. 

Join us to see how you can use this agentic AI-powered assistant to make service virtualization easy and fast for your team—no coding or deep expertise needed. Just describe what you need in natural language, and this industry-first AI builds the virtual service for you. 

You’ll learn how to: 
• Create data-rich virtual services in minutes 
• Simulate dependencies with natural language 
• Virtualize services without relying on developers 
• Keep testing moving when real services are unavailable 

We’ll also show a technical demo and take your questions during live Q&A.

Accelerate Testing With AI That Builds Test Environments for You

Regulators demand continuous evidence. Mission scope keeps expanding. AI is rewriting the rules of engineering.  

If you own software safety or delivery in the aerospace and defense industry, you’re probably dealing with these problems and looking for clear direction among the noise. 

That’s why we’re holding a session where you can ask the specific questions that get at what’s holding your program back. Join a live, open-mic session with long-time Aerospace and Defense advisor Gareth Noyes where he’ll cover: 

•  How to keep functional-safety proof in step with rapid code growth 
•  Where AI genuinely helps embedded teams and where it adds hidden risk 
•  What the DoD Digital Engineering mandate really means for your build, test, and release flow 
•  Practical first moves to shift hardware-bound pipelines toward DevSecOps without jeopardizing certification

Manual testers are often left asking: What changed? What do I need to retest? Without clear answers, testing becomes broad, repetitive, and inefficient. 

Test impact analysis (TIA) brings clarity by identifying exactly which parts of the application were affected by recent code changes—so testers can prioritize and validate with confidence. In this session, we’ll show you how TIA helps teams eliminate guesswork, focus manual efforts where they count, and keep up with fast-paced release cycles. 

What you’ll learn: 
•  How TIA maps code changes to the manual testing scope 
•  Ways to reduce redundant testing  
•  How to increase test coverage confidence without expanding effort 
•  Best practices for aligning QA and development around change-based testing
