The many roles of QA

Welcome to the first QA Meetup! We will kick it off with a discussion around different roles QA has during the software development process. How can a tester help and influence the progress of development and how can we all help make the best possible product for the client.

The Meetup will be held in the offices of D-labs in Ljubljana on 30th of March at 6pm.

Agenda:

• Initial opening ceremony by Igor Podobnik

• First talk by Neven Matas (QA Team Lead at Infinum) with Q&A after

Neven Matas - Using QA every step of the way

Infinum is well known for developing mobile apps for various industries, but how do we manage to keep the desired standard of quality across various projects? This talk will look at how our QA team creates and integrates their processes in order to make Infinum's apps as valuable as possible for the end-users. The basic premise of the talk is that quality assurance should play a role during all stages of app development.

• Second talk by Igor Podobnik (QA Expert at D.Labs) with Q&A after

Igor Podobnik - The QA - Product - Dev triangle

This talk will be focused on how QA can work effectively with the Dev and Product sides of the project. The pluses and minuses of this relationship and how best to make the most of it.

• Third talk by Sandra Valantič (Owner of Testerka.si and QA expert for 1Tap Limited) with Q&A after

Sandra Valantič - Business and testing - what do both have in common?

Who is responsible for a tester’s career path?

What are the benefits for both: the tester and the company, if a tester is working on himself/herself to be a recognizable brand?

Why it is important for a tester to see himself/herself as a business?

How to start working on yourself?

We’ll discuss these and much more at the Meet Up. You’re welcome to participate.
