Talk #1
It works on my device. Sure. But what about the network? by Stavroula Ventoura

A device can pass every test and the network can still fail. Welcome to telecom testing. We will take a practical look at telecom test automation, from testing individual devices to testing the network, and the challenges of building a common automation framework across different testing teams and levels.

Talk #2
Exploring K6: A Modern Approach to Performance Testing by Valantins Vrasidis

This presentation provides an overview of k6, a modern, open-source tool for performance and load testing, highlighting its core concepts, key features, and practical use cases. It explores how k6 enables efficient testing through simple, code-based scripts and demonstrates its integration with visualization and CI/CD tools for continuous performance testing.

The session also explores how AI can support the performance testing lifecycle, from assisting with test script creation and optimization to analyzing test results and generating meaningful reports. Through practical examples, we will examine where AI can add value, where human expertise remains essential, and how emerging approaches such as MCP can enable more integrated AI-assisted testing workflows.
The presentation will walk through a practical workflow that combines k6 with AI-assisted techniques showing how these tools can be applied in a real performance testing process.
