People vs Processes: How to Survive, Influence, and Improve Quality
2025-04-17 · 16:00
Alexander Ptakhin
– Tech Lead
@ Prestatech
Do you feel frustrated when you put in a lot of effort to complete a task, only for no one to be happy with the result? The tester says it's wrong, and the product manager insists it should be supported. What's wrong with me? Nothing — the challenge isn't just individual effort, but how development and QA work together. Developers and testers can influence these processes, not just managers. We just need to know what options we have. Alex will share communication strategies from his experience working with DevOps, QA, and developers, navigating informational chaos, and introducing new ideas. |

Beyond Software: Testing the Systems That Move the World
2025-04-17 · 16:00
Taras Koschmann
– Test Engineer
@ Siemens
Software testing isn’t just about apps and web services — it’s also about ensuring the safety of real-world systems. Taras, a test engineer at Siemens, takes us inside the high-stakes world of railway system testing, where software meets physics, mechanics, and strict regulatory standards. We’ll explore how modern rail networks operate, the complex interplay of automation and control systems, and why testing in this domain is more than just debugging—it’s about preventing real-world failures. Expect an interactive deep dive into how railway traffic is managed, the challenges of certifying high-risk systems, and the technical depth required to keep trains running safely and efficiently. |

Shift-Left. Move Forward
2025-04-17 · 16:00
Anupam Krishnamurthy
– SDET / Quality Coach
@ bitgrip
What does the term release day bring to mind? A bundle of stress? Testing work piling up like a balloon and exploding? Engineers trying to sneak features in after you've finished testing? Does your job feel like a crescendo of pain that culminates in a release, only to start all over again? Should your job location say release hell and your job description firefighter? You are not alone! This is an entrenched problem in quality processes everywhere, beyond just software engineering. And yes, there are solutions. One of them goes by the cryptic name Shift-Left. Shift-Left is often miscommunicated. In this talk, Anupam rescues this term from management jargon and SEO buzzwords to unpack what it means for you as a quality professional. And here's the spoiler — Shift-Left is the key to upgrade your career and get paid better. |
