[Quality People] Gastón Marichal on Why Agentic QA's Hardest Problem Isn't the Technology

Hi Community,

We met @Gaston_Marichal for the first time on our interview call for this story of his, and honestly, we forgot halfway through that we were supposed to be the ones asking questions. He has that easygoing warmth that makes you feel like you’re catching up with an old friend, not running an interview.

That call is where the second piece in our Quality People series came from, and it’s one of our favorites so far. We discussed about why agentic QA isn’t black magic, why the real block to adoption is cultural and not technical, and why he thinks the goal was never a green dashboard in the first place.

“AI is incredibly powerful, but power without control is not very useful.”

What’s been your experience is the resistance to AI in testing on your team more about the tools, or more about the mindset?
