EVENT INFO
Join us for an evening of fresh takes on modern testing: where it’s going, what’s changing, and how to stay ahead.
We’ll start with “Think test cases are enough? Think again”, where our Teodor Petrovski explores why documentation alone isn’t enough and how exploratory testing brings real value. Then, in “How to train your robot”, Irja Straus shares what it’s like to apply QA principles to unpredictable, intelligent machines. We’ll wrap up with a panel on keeping up with modern QA changes.
Expect real stories, practical insights, and a few laughs along the way. Think Love, Death & Robots–but make it test cases, creativity… and robots.
