The Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution in software development is just around the corner. With the rise of AI, developers are expected to play a different role from the traditional role of programmers, as they will need to adapt their know-how and skillsets to complement and apply AI-based tools and techniques into their traditional web development workflow. In this keynote, I will discuss some of the current trends on how AI is being leveraged to enhance web development and testing, along with some of the main opportunities and challenges that we are going to face next.

My research mainly targets web testing and empirical software engineering. My current interests involve test breakages prediction and automatic repair using computer vision techniques. Over the years, I focused on solving problems related to different aspects of regression testing, such as test suite minimization, or improving the robustness and maintainability of test suites for web applications.
