Glen Holmes explores the ethics behind the products we design, test, and release, drawing inspiration from the Jurassic Park dilemma. He discusses how innovation can collide with morality, data misuse, and algorithmic bias, and introduces a practical 6-step framework for ethical decision-making in day-to-day QA decisions. The session will include an engaging, interactive discussion tailored for the QA community, highlighting the moral responsibilities of testers and product managers.

Anastasia Khabarova, QA engineer @ Qase: In this talk, Anastasia will share how Qase evolved its approach to UI testing — from brittle full-page screenshots to a robust system of visual component tests. You’ll hear about the challenges with visual regressions that escaped E2E tests, the tools explored, and how the team built a reliable testing workflow with Playwright. Learn practical strategies for stabilising tests, choosing what to test visually, and improving collaboration between QA and frontend.

Vitaly Sharovatov (Developer Advocate) and Dmitry Suholet (Product Manager) will present a pair talk on what a product management failure can teach us about the collaboration between QA, developers, and product managers.
