Ivan believes that AI will not replace QA, but it can certainly accelerate it. With 20 years of experience in software testing and QA engineering, he has seen first hand how slow, resource-heavy, frustrating, and flaky testing can be. So Ivan teamed up with Renan Ugalde in 2019 to launch MuukTest, an AI-powered and expert-managed solution that automates testing in days, not years. Since then, the company has been backed by top accelerators like MassChallenge and TechStars, VC funded by Contour Venture Partners and others, and awarded grants from the NSF and Google for Startups. He first joined the BoS Conference community as a CED Scholar and has been an active attendee ever since.
