Talk #1
The future of Quality Assurance. Leveraging Agentic AI in Quality Engineering: by Konstantinos Loupos

Agentic QA marks a major advancement in software quality assurance by employing intelligent, autonomous AI agents that can independently handle complex testing workflows. Unlike traditional automated testing, agentic QA systems analyze application changes, prioritize critical risk areas, and adapt test strategies dynamically without continual human supervision. This approach accelerates release schedules and enhances software reliability through broader test coverage and smarter defect identification.

In this presentation, Konstantinos Loupos will showcase the benefits of agentic AI in QA Engineering, providing real-world examples of how using intelligent agents, Claude LLM, and AI can significantly boost productivity. Join us for an insightful session on transforming QA with agentic AI.

Talk #2
Streamlining QA in the Neobank Landscape by Giannis Papadakis & Stamatis Sellas

In an era where digital banking is rapidly evolving, ensuring the highest quality standards in software development is not just an option, but a necessity. This talk will explore the crucial role of Quality Assurance (QA) in the neobank landscape, focusing on strategies to streamline QA processes and enhance overall efficiency.

Attendees will gain insights into:
* Understanding the Neobank Ecosystem: We'll discuss the unique challenges and opportunities faced by neobanks, including the need for rapid innovation, regulatory compliance, and user-centric design.
* Establishing a Robust QA Framework: Learn how to build a comprehensive QA framework tailored for neobanks, incorporating best practices for automated testing, and continuous integration.
* Leveraging Automation: Explore the latest tools and technologies that can automate testing processes, from functional testing to performance and security testing, thus reducing time-to-market while
maintaining high standards.
* Collaboration and Communication: Discover effective strategies for fostering collaboration between QA teams, developers, and other stakeholders, which is vital for ensuring seamless product development
and early detection of issues.
* Metrics and Continuous Improvement: Understand the importance of using metrics to measure QA effectiveness and drive continuous improvement in processes and team performance.
* Case Studies and Real-World Examples: The talk will include case studies from our successful neobank Snappi that have implemented streamlined QA processes, sharing lessons learned and best practices.

Join us for this insightful session to learn how to effectively streamline your QA processes, enhance product quality, and deliver exceptional digital banking experiences that meet the demands of today’s consumers.
