Test Automation Without the Bloat
Automation suites tend to grow endlessly-until they slow teams down. In this session, learn how a high-growth SaaS company audited, refactored, and streamlined a 5,000+ test suite to eliminate redundancy, reduce CI runtime by 50%, and dramatically improve signal quality. We’ll explore how they identified low-value tests, rebalanced their automation layers, improved test data management, and built governance practices that prevent bloat from creeping back in. Walk away with a practical framework for keeping automation lean, fast, and scalable.
Scaling QA from 5 to 150 Testers: What Broke, What Worked
Scaling a QA function is more than hiring-it’s rethinking structure, ownership, and influence. In this candid discussion, engineering leaders share the operational and cultural changes required to grow from a small QA team to a global quality engineering organization. Topics include redefining career ladders, preventing siloed automation, aligning with DevOps, and maintaining quality standards during hypergrowth.
Agentic Testing in the Wild
AI agents are beginning to write, maintain, and refactor test suites-but what does that look like in production? This session explores real-world implementation stories from teams piloting agent-driven testing workflows. We’ll discuss governance frameworks, human-in-the-loop safeguards, validation strategies, and how teams measured trust and ROI. If you’re evaluating AI agents for automation, this talk will help you separate experimentation from scalable adoption.
Building Psychological Safety in Test Reviews
Testing surfaces failure-which makes psychological safety essential. In this conversation, leaders share how they redesigned review rituals to encourage healthy dissent, elevate junior testers, and foster inclusive discussions around defects and risk.

From Intelligent Tools to Intelligent Teams
AI can accelerate testing-but transformation only happens when teams evolve with it. This keynote explores how forward-thinking organizations are moving beyond tool adoption to operational reinvention. We’ll examine how AI-driven automation, observability, low-code frameworks, and accessibility practices are reshaping team structures, workflows, and accountability models. Through real implementation stories, discover how engineering and QA leaders are building adaptive, data-driven, and inclusive quality organizations. If Day 1 focused on what’s possible, this session focuses on what it takes to operationalize it at scale.
Rebuilding Automation After a Monolith Breakup
Breaking a monolith into microservices often breaks automation first. This conversation explores the structural and architectural changes required to realign test frameworks with evolving system boundaries. Leaders share how they shifted toward service-level contracts, redesigned integration coverage, and prevented duplicated effort across teams-all while maintaining delivery velocity.
From Reactive QA to Predictive Quality Engineering
Most teams test what has already broken. But what if testing could anticipate risk? This talk dives into how defect trends, production telemetry, and AI-driven pattern recognition were used to inform sprint-level testing priorities. By shifting from reactive bug-fixing to predictive risk modeling, this organization reduced escaped defects and improved release confidence. You’ll walk away with a framework for using historical data to design smarter test strategies.

Panelists will explore how exploratory testing, domain expertise, and risk-based thinking are evolving in an AI-assisted world. Learn how organizations are redefining manual testing roles to emphasize critical thinking, creativity, and product insight.
Accessibility as a Competitive Advantage
Accessibility initiatives often begin as compliance efforts-but they don’t have to end there. In this session, discover how one product organization embedded accessibility into design reviews, sprint rituals, and engineering KPIs. Through continuous audits, assistive technology testing, and user research partnerships, accessibility became a product differentiator rather than a checkbox. We’ll share measurable outcomes including improved usability scores and broader customer adoption.

When Observability Exposed Our Testing Blind Spots
Production data often reveals uncomfortable truths. In this discussion, leaders reflect on how logs, traces, and user behavior metrics exposed critical coverage gaps in their pre-release testing strategy. Learn how they closed feedback loops between SRE and QA teams, re-prioritized regression suites, and built observability-informed test design practices.
LCNC vs Code-First Automation: Finding the Right Balance
Low-code tools and traditional frameworks are often framed as competitors-but many teams use both. This discussion examines hybrid models that combine accessibility with engineering rigor. Panelists will share decision matrices, onboarding strategies, and governance models that balance speed with scalability.
Inclusive QA Teams Perform Better-Here’s the Data
Diversity and inclusion are often discussed qualitatively-but what does the data show? This panel explores measurable outcomes linked to inclusive hiring, mentorship pipelines, and allyship practices within QA teams. Leaders share structural changes-such as transparent promotion criteria and inclusive review processes-that improved both culture and performance metrics.
What We Learned After Deleting 1,000 Tests
Deleting tests sounds reckless-but keeping low-value tests is worse. In this candid discussion, leaders share how they audited thousands of test cases, identified low-signal automation, and removed nearly 30% of their suite. The result? Faster pipelines, fewer false positives, and higher trust in automation. Hear how they built stakeholder alignment, avoided risk, and implemented guardrails to prevent automation sprawl from returning.
