Iulia Stana, Android Developer @ Dawn Technology
Take Your UI Unit Tests to the Next Level

Testing Compose UI often sacrifices speed for fidelity. This session introduces a "headless-first" strategy, moving UI verification from emulators to the JVM. We'll explore a production-grade framework built with Screen Robots and a custom BDD-style Kotlin DSL.
Slow feedback loops stall development. Shifting UI testing to the JVM provides PR feedback in seconds. A BDD DSL turns tests into living documentation shared by developers, QA, and product owners.

Ievgen Umanets, Senior Software Engineer @ Albert Heijn
Nightwatch AI Safeguarding Releases

Routing issues across a 400+ module codebase often takes time. This talk explores the journey of integrating AI into our CI/CD pipeline to eliminate this, detailing how we evolved from deterministic to fully agentic workflows that automatically identify root causes and safeguard releases.

How to get there?

Take the train to Hilversum Media Park.
For a shortcut: From the station bridge walkway, take the spiraling emergency staircase exit on the left hand side. Walk past the recording studios and the RTL building. Turn left on the street with the Hunkemöller building on the corner.

Car Parking

Limited free parking available in front of the building.
