    The Instinct to Doubt

    We build systems that none of us can keep in our heads entirely. We cover complexity with abstractions, abstractions with frameworks, frameworks with automation. And with each new layer, we believe more and more strongly that this time there is no need to check. That the tool is finally smart enough. That's how it works. And then someone checks it anyway, and it starts.

    QA Cozy Chat: How to Guess That I Am Going to Be Fired

    The market is changing, companies are reviewing their teams, and the requirements for specialists are becoming different. At the QA cozy talk, we will honestly discuss why employees are actually being fired, what signals may appear in advance, and which specialists will be in demand in the coming years. This is an open conversation where you can not only listen, but also ask questions, argue and share your experiences.

    Talk

    Autotests as an Entry Point for Attacks: You Won't Even Notice

    Poorly secured test repositories are not just a future threat that will materialize sooner or later. This is a current, actively exploited security breach. And as the protection of the production code strengthens, this gap will only widen, making attacks on tests more attractive to intruders. The question is not whether there will be an attack, but when it will affect your company.

    Talk

    The State of Mutation Testing, 2026

    I will tell you about the current state of mutation testing tools for programming languages. What new scientific papers have been published? Which tools are relevant where? My task is to provide an overview of the topic without going into details of specific tools or languages.

    Implementing AI in Small Companies

    We will discuss how to implement AI in a company if you do not have large resources and free ML teams. I'll show you the free Roo Code AI assistant, as well as an unusual approach to writing feature evaluation agents, commit analysis, and requirements testing.

    Practical Vibecoding Without Hype

    How to transform chaotic "vibecoding" into a controlled engineering process using Spec-Driven Development, custom skills, and proper testing tools. Through a live project build (Web, Mobile, Backend), I will demonstrate how to get AI agents to deliver high-quality results on the first try, avoiding the trap of endless chat corrections.

    Testing LLM Applications with DeepEval

    This talk focuses on the practice of testing applications based on large language models (LLM) using the DeepEval tool. It will cover the automation of quality assessment using the LLM-as-a-Judge approach, specialized metrics, and the integration of testing into the development process to ensure the reliability and predictability of system operation.

    Battle

    Roulette of Cases: Technical Interviews

    What do hiring managers at big tech companies really think about controversial situations in technical interviews? Where is the line of “acceptable help,” and what should you do if it feels like something is going wrong?

    In this interactive format, experts will break down real cases without pre-prepared answers, and the audience will decide whose position is more convincing.

    Workshop

    How an Analyst Can Help a Tester and How a Tester Can Help an Analyst

    Errors occur at all stages of software development. The sooner we find out, the cheaper it is to fix them. At WS, testers will learn how to identify errors in requirements before the development stage. This will reduce the number of potential errors, the time and effort of the team to fix them.
