Test Society

"Nowadays, there are several ideas, several areas of development... But do you really know what Software QA is? In this presentation you'll learn about the career path of a QA (that's more than automation), its importance and responsibility in a SDLC, interactions with other teams and roles and a brief insight into the huge number of testing possibilities." Want to know more? Join us on the very first edition of #TestSociety conference and learn about QA role and career path from Patrícia Duarte Mateus #qa #conference #testing

"Brains are weird, neat, squishy things. Mine has been diagnosed with things like ADHD, anxiety, and depression, with a list of common behaviors that go along with it. To some people, this might sound like terrible news. But, I have a different take on my particular collection of mental conditions. I can use pieces of my experience living with them, and turn them into useful tools. When looking at the challenges that I face as a software tester, I want to present you with some examples of how neurodivergence can be harnessed to work for me - instead of against me. Come listen to these stories of how these mental powers help boost my curiosity, empathy, and effectiveness. You may just learn something about your own brain along the way." says ✨Karen T. Join us in this year's conference to learn more about neurodivergence in testing and learn more about this hugely important topic! #neurodivergence #testing #qa #qualityassurance #conference #TestSociety

📣 Talk Alert: "A Little Less Testing, A Little More Quality" by João Proença 🚀 You already know that João Proença will be joining us at Test Society 2024. But time has come to share that he'll be challenging some common assumptions about software testing. João has worn many hats throughout his career—automated testing, exploratory testing, scripted testing—you name it! Yet, despite all this, he’s found that even the most rigorous testing can't always prevent serious quality issues. Have you ever faced something similar? Or is it a thought that hasn't crossed your mind yet? In his talk, João will share personal stories where he discovered that quality isn't just a product of more testing. Sometimes, the key lies in something entirely different—whether it's shortening release cycles, tweaking the architecture, or even shifting the focus to how developers work and collaborate. João's talk will dive deep into how quality is truly a multidisciplinary outcome. He’ll discuss when testing is essential, and when it's time to think outside the box. This is a talk you don’t want to miss, especially if you're passionate about delivering top-notch software! #quality #QA #testing #conference #TestSociety

🔍 You’ve probably been wondering what you can learn at Test Society 2024, right? Well, wonder no more! We’re excited to reveal one of the hot topics Sérgio Freire will be diving into during his talk at the conference: "Advanced Testing with Xray by Xblend: how to combine tools and humans". This session promises to deliver valuable insights and practical takeaways on test management, perfect for anyone looking to level up their QA game. 📝 In this session: • we'll see how we can efficiently design tests that can expose important bugs • we'll see how we easily run test automation right from Jira and track their impacts on Jira • how humans can use their unique skills to find important bugs using exploratory testing • how we can combine all of the previous, to have a more complete overview of quality Curious to learn more? This is just the beginning—there’s so much more in store at Test Society 2024.

🚀 Final Speaker Announcement for Test Society 2024! 🚀 We are beyond excited to introduce our final speaker for this year's Test Society conference - Magdalena Rutkowska, Senior Director of Engineering at Talkdesk! 🎉 Mags is not just any tech leader, she's the Quality Whisperer. With 20 years of experience taming software bugs across Europe, Mags has left her mark in Poland, Portugal, Spain, Gibraltar, the UK, and Italy. She’s a code-wrangling nomad who’s built QA empires while making quality a lifestyle, not just a phase. Here’s how Mags describes herself: "I'm the Agile acrobat and Waterfall surfer who believes quality isn't just a phase—it's a lifestyle. I've built QA empires, trained end-user armies, and even managed to make data interpretation sound sexy (okay, maybe that's a stretch). When I'm not busy injecting quality mindsets into unsuspecting development processes, you might find me starting small enterprises faster than you can say 'test case'. I'm a doer, not a talker—unless we're talking about quality, then wild horses can't shut me up. My mission? To prove that with the right mindset, even the tiniest quality effort can yield blockbuster results." This is your chance to hear from a true QA legend who’s about to make software engineering quality the next viral sensation. Trust us, you won’t want to miss Mags on stage at Test Society 2024! 🎟️ Tickets are selling fast!
