Name: Quality Engineering meetup #8
Start: 2025-08-06T16:00:00.000Z
Location: JetBrains Berlin

*In collaboration with* [JetBrains](https://www.jetbrains.com), *[Qase](https://qase.io) is presenting the **eighths** Meetup on Quality Engineering in Berlin.*
*This time, we’re bringing you three deep-dive talks — all designed to challenge the way you think about quality, testing, and collaboration.*
*As always, expect great conversations, snacks, and drinks. See you there!*

**AGENDA**

**1\. Anastasia Khabarova\, QA engineer @ Qase: *Component Visual Testing: Our Journey from Flaky Screenshots to Stable UI Confidence***

In this talk, Anastasia will share how Qase evolved its approach to UI testing — from brittle full-page screenshots to a robust system of visual component tests. You’ll hear about the challenges with visual regressions that escaped E2E tests, the tools explored, and how the team built a reliable testing workflow with Playwright. Learn practical strategies for stabilising tests, choosing what to test visually, and improving collaboration between QA and frontend.

**2\. Patrick Mölk\, consultant: *The First Bug Is Always in the Conversation***

Bugs don’t start in code — they often start in vague language, misunderstood requirements, or poorly structured discussions. In this talk, Patrick Mölk shows how communication quality underpins every effort to build reliable software.
From speech chain theory to GitLab’s context communication practices, he explores why clarity, context, and precision matter — especially in remote or cross-functional teams. Because without quality in how we talk and write, quality assurance is just damage control.

**3\. Sergei Moryahin\, QA Lead @ JetBrains: *Rebuilding a Ship at Sea: QA Behind the Kotlin Plugin Rewrite***

Join Sergei, QA Lead at JetBrains, as he shares how his team supported a complete refactoring of the Kotlin plugin for IntelliJ IDEA over three years without disrupting millions of users. This talk covers the testing strategy behind a live rewrite of compiler and IDE integration, how QA collaborated with development, managed risks across JetBrains IDEs and third-party plugins, and defined quality gates that enabled a silent, staged rollout. A real-world case study in testing under continuous change, invisible deployments, and maintaining trust through QA engineering.
