BrowserStack QA In-Person Meetup Chennai - January 2026

Join us for our QA meetup of the BrowserStack Meetup group Chennai.

Venue: Presidio, Chennai

Session 1:

"Playwright + ZAP: A Blueprint for Automated Security Testing"

Speaker: Rajesh G, Associate Architect QA at Presidio

This session focuses on combining Playwright automation with OWASP ZAP to build a shift-left security testing approach. Participants will learn how to integrate security scans into functional test flows, enabling early detection of common web vulnerabilities during regular test execution.

Key Takeaways
• How Playwright can drive real user journeys
• How ZAP can automatically intercept and scan application traffic
• Ways to identify issues like XSS, SQL injection, and insecure headers as part of CI/CD pipelines
• Best practices to make security testing a natural extension of QA automation, not a separate phase

Session 2:

"MCP in Action: How AI Models Safely Talk to Tools "

Speaker: DeepanKumar Kumaran , QA Manager at SecureW2

This session introduces MCP (Model Context Protocol) — the emerging standard that allows AI models to securely connect with real-world tools, databases, and services. We’ll explore why MCP was created, how app connectors work in tools like ChatGPT and Claude, and how people can use MCP servers to perform real actions. The talk includes live demonstrations using MongoDB and a quick look at building a custom MCP server.

Key Takeaways
• Understand what MCP is and why it exists
• Learn how AI app connectors work behind the scenes
• See how MCP enables safe and controlled access to tools and databases
• Get hands-on exposure to using MCP servers with Cursor
• Gain clarity on how custom MCP servers can be built
