What we’re about
Boston Mabl User Group (a.k.a. Boston MUG)
What we’re about
Boston MUG is a community for anyone who cares about quality engineering and test automation, from newcomers battling their first flaky locator to salty veterans who dream in regex. We meet quarterly in Downtown Crossing to swap war stories, compare tools and techniques, and get an insider peek at what’s new in mabl without the sales pitch.
Why join?
- Real‑world problem solving: Lightning talks and panels on QA headaches we’ve actually fixed (or at least survived).
- Insider access: Early demos of unreleased Mabl features and beta programs you can try before the rest of the world.
- Crowd‑sourced topics: You choose what we cover next - flaky test triage, API testing, CI/CD tips, accessibility audits. Nothing is off‑limits.
- Community & collaboration: Meet fellow testers from Boston startups, enterprise teams, and everywhere in between. Swap tips over pizza, stay for beverages, leave with new Slack buddies.
