A Tester’s Guide to Claude Code: From Setup to Scripting

Join Applause for the debut of our new webinar series, Velocity & Validation Labs. This series helps engineers in testing apply AI tools and skills to accelerate the testing lifecycle responsibly. As the series progresses, we'll delve deeper into agentic AI workflows for engineers in testing, starting with establishing a technical bedrock and progressing to advanced techniques.

In this first episode, two of our leading experts will hold a conversational deep dive into starting with Claude Code from scratch. This session is designed for testers who need foundational guidance adapted for an enterprise context. We focus on getting you up and running without burning through your token budget or risking the integrity of your company’s sensitive databases.

This is a live interactive forum, so bring your setup challenges and our presenters will address them. We will pinpoint exactly where human expertise remains essential to bridge the gap between machine speed and real-world reliability, helping you build a secure, human-led AI strategy.

Join us on Wednesday, June 3, at 7:30 am PT / 10:30am ET / 4:30pm CEST.
