AI features now involve agents, tools, databases, and external systems working together. Most teams still test them manually or rely on mocks that do not reflect real behavior. In this session, I will show how to test AI workflows using Testcontainers and real dependencies running locally. We will build a setup where an AI agent interacts with tools and services, and run tests against it in a reproducible environment. You will see how to spin up dependencies on demand and validate real interactions instead of guessing. This session is focused on making AI systems testable, reliable, and easier to develop.
