Tafline Ramos

Tafline contributes to testing standards that give organisations a shared basis for documenting processes and reviewing quality assurance. Consulting and conference speaking help share this work with the testing community. The co-authored research on AI quality offers testing and engineering audiences proposals for assessing AI systems, connecting established quality practices with questions about incorrect outputs, bias and traceability.

Tafline Ramos is Global Quality Engineering Practice Director at Planit, based in Melbourne, Australia. Alongside consulting and conference speaking, Tafline contributes to international software-testing and quality-assurance standards, notably the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 series. This involvement extends to Australian standards coordination, helping organisations establish a shared framework for defining testing processes and reviewing quality-assurance practice.

In November 2024, Tafline co-authored research on AI-augmented software engineering with Amanda Dean and David McGregor. The paper examines how quality engineering can support AI systems, tackling challenges such as incorrect outputs, bias, and traceability, while proposing survey-informed extensions to ISO quality models and considering the skills future IT graduates will need. Standards Australia recognised this dedication to global governance with its 2023 Meritorious Contribution Award (International).
