Title & Speakers Event
Vasilii Bolgar – Staff Engineer @ TradeRepublic

Most companies rely on dedicated QA teams to ensure product quality. But what if you don’t have one? In this talk, Vasilii will share how his team at TradeRepublic supports dozens of autonomous product teams in delivering reliable software — without traditional testers. You’ll learn how platform engineering, developer-owned quality, and smart tooling can replace rigid QA processes and create faster, safer delivery pipelines. Real-world examples, hard-earned lessons, and no silver bullets.

Denis Mashutin – QA @ JetBrains PyCharm

Regression testing is often tedious, time-consuming, and prone to bias. As PyCharm’s test plan grew to ~700 cases, manually covering everything before each release became unrealistic. The QA team faced a familiar dilemma: repeat what’s easy and known, or risk leaving blind spots untouched. Denis Mashutin will share how they tackled regression fatigue and routine bias with a simple but powerful idea — shuffled checks. By randomly sampling small chunks of their test plan for each release cycle, they improved coverage, found critical bugs earlier, and made testing less painful for the team. No fancy frameworks, no extra headcount — just practical automation and smarter processes anyone can adopt.

Arsenyi Batyrov – Head of manual QA @ InDrive

When your app serves millions of users across 48 countries, quality issues are inevitable — but detecting them is the real challenge. Bug reports are vague, user feedback is shallow, and no amount of lab testing can simulate real-world chaos. Arsenyi Batyrov will share how his team tackled these problems by rolling out a dogfooding program in a global ride-hailing company. You’ll hear how they scaled from a small pilot to 1000 active participants, automated bug triage without a single programmer, and turned internal feedback into real product improvements. More than just a success story, this is a candid look at what worked, what failed, and why dogfooding isn’t a silver bullet — but can be a game-changer when done right.
