The Test Tribe Abu Dhabi

Somewhere right now, a transaction is failing silently. A retail checkout is breaking on one device. A banking app is letting through what it shouldn’t or blocking what it should allow.
The people who catch these things before the world does? That’s you.

The Test Tribe’s Middle East Virtual Meetup, hosted in collaboration with Pcloudy, is built for QA practitioners, engineering leaders, and quality champions operating at the sharp end of high-stakes software across banking, retail, fintech, and beyond.

## Event Details

• 28 May 2026
• 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM GST
• Platform: Zoom Webinar

## Session 1

### QA Strategy That Protects High-Stakes Banking Applications

Speaker: Arpit Jain - QA Leader with 18+ years of global IT experience

### Why This Session Matters

Banking software doesn’t get second chances.
A failed transaction is not just a bug. It’s a compliance issue, a trust problem, and potentially a lost customer.
Arpit has spent nearly two decades building quality functions in exactly these kinds of high-pressure environments. This session goes beyond generic conversations about why QA matters. Instead, it explores what quality strategy actually looks like when reliability, compliance, and customer trust are non-negotiable.
Expect practical insights into building resilient QA systems for banking applications where failure simply isn’t an option.

## Session 2

### Scaling Trust: AI-Powered QA for Retail

Speaker: Somu Suryanarayanan

### Why This session Matters

“Trust is the real product in retail, and AI Skills for QA are how you scale it.”
Every broken checkout means lost revenue. Every silent bug chips away at customer trust. Reliability is what keeps users coming back.
This session explores how a retail engineering organization evolved from manual regression cycles and limited automation into an AI-first QA practice now supporting nine product teams.
Somu will walk through the journey from generating a single AI-assisted test using Claude and Codex Skills to building a complete Skill-driven workflow that:

• Crawls flows on real devices
• Generates production-ready tests in plain English
• Executes tests through CI/CD pipelines
• Detects defects before customers experience them

Attendees will get an inside look at:

• The architecture behind AI Skills for QA
• The rollout strategy across multiple engineering teams
• The real-world failure modes and lessons learned
• The economic case for replacing commercial QA SaaS with agentic open-source frameworks

This session is designed for QA practitioners and engineering leaders who want to move from experimenting with AI to deploying AI-powered testing workflows in production.

## Why Show Up on the 28th?

Because your peers will be there.
This isn’t another webinar you attend quietly and forget the next day. The people joining this meetup are QA leads, engineering managers, heads of testing, and practitioners solving the same high-pressure quality challenges you face every day.
Because your voice matters too.
This is a community-driven conversation, not a one-way broadcast. There will be space to ask difficult questions, share real experiences, and connect with professionals who genuinely understand the realities of modern software quality.
