In this session, Mesut Durukal takes us into the world of code reviews, not just as a formality but as a critical part of the test automation lifecycle. He dives into a real-world scenario from his own team, where the code review process was marred by inconsistencies. Some reviewers were too strict, creating roadblocks that delayed tasks, while others let everything slide. This talk reveals how Mesut and his team tackled these issues, balancing rigor with flexibility to create a code review culture that enhances quality without stifling progress.

Open source can seem like a daunting world to step into. Maybe you've heard it’s important, especially as more companies look for profiles with open source contributions. But where do you even begin? Starting on a random project feels overwhelming, and finding time is another challenge altogether. If you’ve ever felt like this, then this session is exactly what you need. Drawing from personal experience as a contributor to Selenium, this talk breaks down what it truly means to join the open-source community.

In this session, we’re diving into seven powerful approaches to take your REST API testing to a whole new level. It’s not just about covering the basics – it’s about digging deeper to uncover hidden issues and truly understand how your APIs perform in various scenarios. You'll walk away with techniques that don’t just make your tests more effective but also give you insights that are critical for building resilient, reliable systems.

In a world where AI is advancing at lightning speed, it’s easy to wonder where humans fit in. But as Anuj Magazine explores in this session, there are core virtues that set us apart — qualities that no machine learning model or algorithm can replicate. These are the strengths that make us adaptable, compassionate, and resilient, enabling us to navigate not just technology, but life itself with purpose and meaning. This talk is a reflection on what it means to be human in an AI-driven world and why those timeless virtues will only grow more vital.

In this session, we’re getting into how AI and machine learning are transforming test automation from a traditional, often repetitive process into something dynamic, efficient, and intelligent. It’s not just about speeding things up; it’s about creating smarter tests that adapt to changes, predict issues before they arise, and ultimately make your testing process more resilient. If you're looking to future-proof your testing strategies, this talk will give you the insight you need to do just that.

In this insightful session, Raneesh Chaudhary dives into the world of automation frameworks and how design patterns can empower them to handle more complex, "heavier" lifting. With design patterns as a foundation, scaling becomes a whole lot easier, setting your automation frameworks up for high-impact, long-term success. Raneesh walks us through the practical benefits of incorporating design patterns like the Facade, Factory, and Singleton, each bringing unique strengths to the table—from simplifying complex systems to managing resources efficiently.

In this compelling talk, Federico delves into the new challenges in software quality brought by the rise of Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs). As these advanced technologies become more integrated into applications, ensuring their quality presents unique hurdles. He explores the specific quality concerns associated with using LLMs, GenAI, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and discuss innovative testing approaches tailored to these systems. This session is designed to help you navigate these complexities, ensuring your applications not only meet but exceed quality standards.

In this engaging session, Vignesh S. explores the question on every tester's mind: "Will Playwright replace Selenium?" Join him as he delves into the architectural differences between Playwright and Selenium, highlighting the execution speed advantages of Playwright and its user-friendly design.

In this insightful talk, Soumen Deb explores the integration of sustainability into software quality engineering.
