      Scaling AI in QA at Yandex: Measuring the Impact of LLMs Across 1,000+ Engineers

      How do you measure the real impact of GenAI in testing at the scale of 1,000+ QA engineers and separate actual value from the “wow” effect? We’ll share the metric framework and results from real implementations: LLMs for generating test documentation, accelerating E2E automation, and AI agents running regression tests.

      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.

      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.

    • Talk

      Agent Systems for Mobile Regression

      The practice of building an agent-based system for mobile regression: interaction with the device, model selection, and a set of engineering techniques that reduce non-determinism and help validate the result without self-deception.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Testing Biometrics

      Testing the Smile Payment service.

      Security check and search for biometric system vulnerabilities.

    • 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.

      Bug Reporting Speed Up With a Browser Extension

      The classic "how to reproduce this?" dilemma has been resolved! This talk introduces my browser extension that handles action recording, captures errors, and helps to produce bug reports automatically — no more manual note-taking or relying on memory.

      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.

      IoT Security Testing Starter Kit

      Let's talk about testing the security of IoT devices and embedded firmware, based on the OWASP Firmware Security Testing Methodology, and create a checklist with device security checks.

      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.
