About us
🚨 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 🚨
We have some exciting news! As part of our move into the MoTaverse, the Ministry of Testing Berlin group is officially migrating away from [Meetup.com.](http://meetup.com./)
Going forward, we are now known as a Chapter, and we have a brand-new home where all our future events, photos, and talks will live.
### Why the move?
By joining us on the new Chapter page, your participation now counts toward your professional growth. In the MoTaverse, you’ll earn stars and badges for attending events, which display directly on your MoT profile to showcase your contributions to the community.
It’s all part of our goal to provide "Community-as-a-Service"—bringing learning, events, and networking into one seamless experience.
### What you need to do:
To stay in the loop for our upcoming Berlin events and news, please head over to our new page and join the Chapter:
👉 Join the MoT Berlin Chapter Here
We’ll be phasing out this [Meetup.com](http://meetup.com/) group soon, so make sure you make the jump today so you don't miss our next gathering!
For a deeper look at why we’re making these changes, you can check out Rosie Sherry's post: Meetups are now Chapters.
See you in the MoTaverse!

Cognitive overload in the AI era
Yegor Lisnyak - QA Engineer @Valtech, BerlinThe talk explores the shifting landscape of software delivery, where the AI now acts as the generator of the code, tests and other data, while we remain the ultimate judges of quality. As AI output volume grows, so does the risk of "digital burnout"—where massive, unstructured data dumps increase our cognitive load and lead to critical errors. This talk introduces Cognitive Accessibility as the missing link in our SDLC, teaching you how to architect AI outputs that are human-centric, easily parsable, and stress-proof for your team.
Key Takeaways
- Mastering Cognitive Ergonomics: Learn to apply accessibility principles to internal documentation, treating your team’s attention as a finite, precious resource.
- Structural Parity: Discover how to align the structure of AI outputs to slash "mental rendering" time.
- Shifting A11y Left: Redefine accessibility not just as a final product check, but as an operational standard that prevents defects at the source.
