Excited to share that QA Mentor, as an implementation partner of AgileAI Labs, participated in the Excellence in AI Insurance Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

This three-day exclusive forum brings together 100+ companies and 300+ decision makers, including top insurance and MGA executives, thought leaders and innovators, to discuss the biggest challenges shaping the insurance industry.

A special thank you to AgileAI Labs for selecting QA Mentort to participate together in this important event. We truly appreciate the opportunity to collaborate and support their mission in bringing practical AI innovation to the insurance industry.

Together with AgileAI Labs CEO Missy Trumpler, we had many valuable conversations around Spec2Test and Spec2Run, two AI platforms designed to help organizations improve requirement analysis, test generation, testing efficiency, scriptless/codeless test automation, predictive analysis and overall delivery confidence.

The insurance industry is moving fast, but speed without quality creates risk. AI can help accelerate delivery, but it must be implemented with the right strategy, testing discipline and human oversight.

Across many conversations, we saw a very familiar pattern: companies continue to struggle with poorly defined requirements. This creates a cascading domino effect: unclear requirements lead to poorly implemented software, incomplete test coverage, missed scenarios, delayed releases and reduced confidence in production readiness.

At the same time, time to market is becoming a very demanding ask across the insurance space. Organizations want to move faster, but without better requirement quality, smarter test generation and stronger release validation, speed can quickly turn into risk.

This is exactly where AgileAI Labs brings specific solutions for the insurance industry through Spec2Test and Spec2Run. These AI platforms help organizations improve requirement analysis, generate better tests assets, automate quickly, strengthen testing efficiency and increase delivery confidence.

Proud to see QA Mentor contributing to this important conversation and helping insurance organizations explore practical, quality-focused AI adoption.

As some of you heard yesterday, we officially launched EvaliQA our AI Evaluation and Assurance product.

Within the first 24 hours, we received 46 messages from many of you and few were asking a very fair question: What is so unique about EvaliQA and why build another AI evaluation tool when the market already has tools like Promptfoo, DeepEval and others?

Here is our honest answer. Most existing AI evaluation tools were built primarily for engineering teams. They are powerful, but many require coding, Python knowledge, technical setup and engineering ownership. EvaliQA was built for QA professionals.

Our goal is to give QA teams a simpler, practical, no-code way to evaluate AI systems, while still keeping the flexibility to define custom metrics based on real business needs. Because AI quality is NOT only a technical problem.

A good AI answer is NOT just one that sounds correct. It must be accurate, safe, relevant, unbiased, consistent, aligned with business rules and appropriate for the user’s context. That is exactly where QA professionals bring tremendous value.

EvaliQA is designed to help QA teams evaluate hallucinations, fabrication, bias, safety, business rule adherence, consistency, model performance and real-world risk.

The mission is simple -->To move AI evaluation from engineering-only activity to a true quality discipline. Scores are evidence, NOT decisions. Human judgment is still the job and EvaliQA is built to put QA professionals at the center of that process.

Today is the day.

After many months of thinking, building, testing, questioning, refining and believing, we are officially giving birth to our new baby -->EvaliQA.

Like every new beginning, this moment feels personal. EvaliQA was born from a very simple but important belief, AI cannot be trusted just because it gives a confident answer. AI systems, chatbots, agents and LLM-powered products need to be evaluated, challenged, measured and continuously monitored. Hallucinations, fabrication, bias, unsafe behavior, poor reasoning, weak business rule adherence and unreliable agent actions are no longer theoretical risks. They are real production risks.

That is why we built EvaliQA. EvaliQA helps organizations evaluate AI with evidence, NOT assumptions. It helps teams test AI behavior, compare models, measure quality, identify risks and make better release decisions before AI reaches real users.

For us, this is more than a product launch. It is a new chapter in AI Assurance. We spent years helping companies test software. Now we are helping companies test intelligence.

Welcome to the world, EvaliQA. Our new baby is here (check the comments section below). Feel free to take it for a ride as we have a Free Plan. We would like to hear what you think.

People often ask our Founder and CEO, Ruslan Desyatnikov, why he enjoys throwing axes.

For him, it is more than a hobby. Every throw reinforces an important lesson about software testing.

When most people start, they think the harder they throw, the better the result. But that's NOT how it works. If you throw with too much force, the axe can over-rotate, bounce off the target, and even come back at you.

The goal is NOT power, the goal is control. You need the right stance, the right grip, the right distance, the right timing and a smooth release. When all of those come together, the axe sticks exactly where you intended.

Testing is no different. Finding important defects is NOT about running thousands of random test cases. It's about understanding the system, identifying the highest risks and knowing exactly where to focus your effort.

That's something AI still can NOT do on its own. AI can help generate test cases and speed up ex*****on, but it can NOT replace experience, judgment and business understanding. Those are the skills that help testers find the defects that are important.

Anyone can throw an axe same as anyone can run tests. But consistently hitting the target and consistently finding the defects that matter takes practice, precision and good judgment.

Sometimes, less force and more control is exactly what leads to the best results.

How many of you have ever been involved in selecting or evaluating a test automation tool for your organization?

Sounds simple at first, until suddenly you are comparing features, AI capabilities, scalability, maintenance costs, CI/CD integration, ease of use, support, stability, licensing models and trying to separate real value from marketing promises.

In today’s AI era, almost every vendor claims to have the “smartest” or “most advanced” automation platform. The challenge is no longer finding tools. The challenge is selecting the right tool.

During this webinar, our Founder & CEO Ruslan Desyatnikov will teach you how to leverage QA Mentor’s Structured Test Automation Tool Evaluation Framework, a practical and business-driven approach designed to help organizations evaluate, compare, and make confident automation decisions.

You will learn how to:
🐞 Define business and technical needs
🐞 Build objective evaluation criteria
🐞 Run effective proof-of-concepts
🐞 Compare tools beyond vendor hype
🐞 Measure long-term value and ROI

By the end of this session, you will be in a position to help drive these initiatives within your own organization and become a stronger contributor in strategic technology decisions.

This skill is becoming increasingly important in today’s AI-driven automation landscape because choosing the wrong tool can create years of maintenance pain, while choosing the right one can accelerate adoption, reduce costs, and create real business value.

Join us and learn how to make smarter automation decisions.
