End-to-End Test Orchestration using MCP Servers | Raghunath Chilkuru
Most QA teams are still switching between requirement docs, their local codebase, and CI/CD dashboards to get automation done. This session is about closing that gap -using AI not as a code generator you prompt occasionally, but as something closer to an actual QA teammate working inside your IDE.
Key Takeways:
✅A working understanding of MCP architecture - how to configure and run local or cloud-based MCP servers to connect your IDE with enterprise tools
✅How to chain test generation and CI/CD execution into a single AI-driven workflow
✅How a custom agent can perform root-cause analysis on Jenkins build/test failures without switching tools
✅A foundation you can start applying to your own automation projects right after the session
