What weāre about
š§Ŗ Introducing mcr.test. Manchesterās home for testers, thinkers, and tech changemakers.
Formed by senior leaders across Manchesterās tech scene (alongside Cam), mcr.test was born from one shared belief: that the local testing community deserved a unified space to connect, share ideas, and shape the future of quality engineering.
To make that happen, we started by asking three simple questions:
ā” How do we ensure the next generation of testers are supported?
ā” Where do we come together to truly connect?
ā” How do we amplify new voices across the community?
What started as a simple conversation has now grown into a lively, thriving community for the QA world.
Now established, and powered by fresh senior faces and new energy ā mcr.test is levelling up. Expect lively debates, Q&As, panels, and a fresh twist on the usual networking ātalksā formula.
ā” Real stories.
ā” Real people.
ā” Real community.
Please note: while mcr.test is open to all, spaces are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis ā so sign up early to secure your spot.
mcr.test is proudly powered by MRJ Recruitment - the tech recruitment firm behind some of the Northās most forward-thinking tech events.
We donāt just talk about the tech community, we help build it.
