Adonis Celestine | Taras Lytvyn | A Tester’s Guide to Claude Code: From Setup to Scripting

AI Automation, Claude For Testers

Speed is easy. Reliability is the real challenge. Claude Code can generate test scripts in seconds. But speed without a framework is just a shortcut to AI slop and enterprise risk.

Testers starting with agentic AI have likely encountered the “hallucination hurdle.” It is the moment when code looks perfect on screen but fails as soon as it encounters a real-world edge case.
To bridge the gap between AI velocity and actual quality, testers need a solid foundation.

This session is designed for testers who need foundational guidance on using Claude Code for test automation in an enterprise context. Adonis Celestine and Taras Lytvyn focus on helping participants get up and running without exhausting their token budgets or compromising the integrity of their organisations’ sensitive databases.
