Quality assurance isn't just about testing more—it's about testing smarter. Anna Kovalova, CEO and co-founder of Anbosoft, is redefining how teams approach QA audits by combining structured frameworks with AI-driven insights. Her philosophy is clear: "Quality at speed is the real benchmark." Even experienced teams develop blind spots—regression cycles stretch, automation underdelivers, and hotfixes become the norm. Kovalova's QA Process Audit framework makes these issues visible and actionable, helping one team cut regression time by half while significantly reducing hotfixes. What sets her approach apart? It's the collaboration between AI analysis and human expertise. Teams complete adaptive surveys about their testing practices, AI identifies patterns and opportunities, then QA experts tailor recommendations to each company's unique context and risk profile. Beyond the technical work, Kovalova champions a people-first approach to quality assurance. She mentors women in tech, supports veterans entering the field, and advocates for practical AI adoption over buzzword-driven initiatives. With 15+ years in software quality leadership, she's building a future where AI amplifies testing capabilities while keeping testers at the center of decision-making.

Most people think the biggest barrier to AI adoption is employee resistance. But new data shows that is not the case.   In a survey of 532 enterprise leaders, 92% say AI is a priority, and more than half identify as enthusiastic champions. So, what is really slowing progress? Integration.   Enterprises are not struggling with a belief in AI. They are struggling to make it work across complex systems, vendors, and skill gaps.   It is time to shift the conversation. AI will not deliver value until integration becomes the priority.   👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ezZrxY5Z   #AI #AIOrchestration #AITransformation #AIIntegration #Zapier #TechLeadership #FutureOfWork

The shift from automation to orchestration is here, and it’s redefining what it means to be an “AI-ready” enterprise. In his article for The AI Journal, Shabbir Dahod lays out why traditional automation isn’t enough, and how enterprises must instead build systems that reason, adapt, and coordinate across data, teams and partners. Clean, interconnected data > model sophistication Human-to-Agent (H2A) systems let people set direction while agents execute Governance, auditability and trust aren’t nice-to-haves — they’re strategic enablers If your 2025 strategy still centers on automating workflows, it’s time to broaden the lens. Invest in orchestration intelligence and you shift from “what happened” to “what should happen next” and that’s where AI drives real bottom-line value.
