Revisit Old Problems with New Eyes! [Testμ 2026]

At Testμ Conf 2026, ABN AMRO Clearing Test Engineering Manager Pramod Yadav described how AI agents, feature flags, trunk-based development, and continuous delivery enabled him to progress from a testing specialist to building full-stack products, including a VAT filing application and demonstration tools. He outlined a delivery pipeline in which feature flags are created during planning, lightweight checks such as linting, secret scanning, and affected tests run at commit time, and pull requests trigger broader integration, security, coverage, review, and deployment gates. Yadav presented an agentic semantic-versioning workflow using the Claude Agent SDK to assess pull-request changes as major, minor, or patch releases, arguing that PRs contain the necessary context for reliable decisions. He also demonstrated that identical code can produce different features across CI, staging, and production through environment-specific flag configurations, enabling dark launches, targeted releases, experiments, and rapid feature disablement without hotfixes. He argued that feature flags can reduce the need for multiple test environments, that much test flakiness results from shared-state conflicts, and that AI can assist with test generation, exploratory testing, and reviews, while acknowledging unresolved risks of over-reliance on agents and potential erosion of technical skills.
