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. |

People & Culture Conversations: Stories of Changes & Pivots
2024-12-04 · 17:30
This Meetup is presented by our friends from Celbretti. For more information and to help us keep track, please register via the event page of Celbretti here! About the evening For many of us, the end of the year is a time to pause and reflect. We take stock of the highs and the lows and check our internal maps, asking: Am I still on track to where I want to go? This kind of reflection can highlight the need to change course or to make a pivot - never an easy thing to do! In these moments, it’s good to have stories to turn to of folks who made brave changes and came out the other side - stronger, wiser, and (we hope!) happier for it. In the last People & Culture Conversation of the year we’ll hear four stories of bold pivots and changes which are still unfurling. After, resilience coach Lin Cassie Zhen will moderate our conversation, highlighting the strength we each have in the face of change. We hope you’ll join us! Our Speakers Veronika Ilina is a Senior Employer Branding & Internal Communications Consultant at LYAV. In 2020 she took a risk and stepped away from her career in HR to build a platform for techies. Come find out where it led. Astrid Munk is the VP People & Culture at Adviqo Group. Hired to help integrate the company post-merger, she discovered that the company’s plan - and her position - had changed, putting her on a path she hadn’t expected. Anastasia Ulanova is a global marketing leader and employer branding specialist. Following her family’s move to Germany this year she was in the midst of a job search when she got news of yet another change: she was pregnant! Explore her story of when all things change. Diana Wenzel is an independent Systemic Personal & Business Coach who focuses on helping first-time leaders. Earlier this year, she was weighing a big decision: step away from the leadership track she was on to break out on her own. Come learn what tipped the scales. Moderating our Conversation we’ll have Lin Cassie Zhen. Lin is a Design Mentor and Transformational Coach who focuses on guiding others through times of uncertainty. Important note: To help us keep track, please register via the event page of Celbretti here! ------ Code of Conduct We adhere to the Berlin Code of Conduct to ensure a welcoming and respectful environment for all participants.
