AI Powered Quality Assurance | 2nd Dubai Meetup
AI Powered Quality Assurance | 2nd Dubai Meetup
## **AI\-Powered Quality Assurance \| The Test Tribe 2nd Dubai Meetup** **Generative AI is rapidly transforming how software is built, tested, and delivered—but with this power comes responsibility. As AI systems influence decisions, automate workflows, and accelerate development, quality engineers must understand not just how to use AI, but how to use it responsibly and how to test it effectively.** **At the 2nd Dubai TTT Meetup, we’ll explore the intersection of Responsible Generative AI and Quality Assurance, along with practical approaches to testing AI systems using AI itself. Through real-world use cases, governance discussions, and modern testing techniques, this meetup will help QA professionals make informed, ethical, and confident decisions in an AI-driven world.** ## **Event Details** **Date: 7th February 2026** **Time: 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM GST** **Venue: in5 Media – Training Room** ## **Sessions & Speakers** ### **Session 1: Responsible Generative AI – Impact, Risk, and the Future of QA** **Speaker: Priyank Jain** #### **About the Session** **This session provides a structured and practical introduction to Responsible Generative AI, with a strong focus on how it applies to Quality Assurance.** **Priyank will cover:** * **How responsible generative AI can be applied within QA workflows** * **The global impact, challenges, risks, and governance considerations surrounding generative AI** * **The future implications of generative AI on business, workforce, and society** **Rather than focusing only on tools, this talk emphasizes awareness, governance, and informed decision-making—helping QA leaders and practitioners understand where AI creates opportunity and where it introduces risk.** #### **Key Takeaways** * **A clear understanding of Responsible Generative AI and its QA use cases** * **Insight into ethical, economic, compliance, reputational, and consumer risks** * **Awareness of governance and risk-management considerations for AI adoption** * **The ability to make more informed strategic and management decisions related to AI** * **A broader perspective on how generative AI will shape the future of work and quality** ### **Session 2: Testing AI Systems Using AI** **Speaker: Apzal Bahin** #### **About the Session** **Testing AI systems is fundamentally different from testing traditional software. When expected results are no longer deterministic, how do we validate quality, reliability, and trust?** **This session focuses on Testing AI Systems Using AI, where AI models themselves act as evaluators. Instead of checking for exact outputs, testers assess dimensions such as correctness, relevance, consistency, bias, and safety.** **Apzal will explore:** * **Using AI to detect hallucinations and unstable behavior** * **Validating prompt behavior and response patterns** * **Treating prompts as testable contracts, not experiments** **This talk offers a modern, practical mindset for QA professionals working with LLMs and AI-driven features.** #### **Key Takeaways** * **Detect hallucinations, bias, and instability early by using AI to test AI** * **Learn how to validate AI outputs without fixed expected results** * **Treat prompts as testable, maintainable contracts** * **Release AI features with confidence rather than hope** ## **About the Speakers** ### **Priyank Jain** **Priyank Jain is a QA Manager & Senior SDET with 11+ years of experience in automation testing and quality engineering.** **He specializes in building scalable, maintainable, and AI-driven test automation frameworks, combining deep technical expertise with a strong product-quality mindset. His areas of focus include test strategy, automation architecture, and AI in testing.** **Priyank brings a balanced perspective—leveraging AI to accelerate delivery while ensuring quality, governance, and responsibility remain at the core of modern QA practices.** ### **Apzal Bahin** **Apzal Bahin is a Senior QA Engineer with 12+ years of experience in software testing, test automation, and quality engineering across Agile teams.** **He is passionate about using AI to make testing smarter, more reliable, and more human-centric, and enjoys exploring how emerging technologies like LLMs can support testers in building high-quality, trustworthy products.** ## **Why You Should Attend** * **Understand what responsible AI really means for QA professionals** * **Learn how to test AI systems when traditional testing no longer works** * **Gain clarity on governance, compliance, and ethical considerations** * **Prepare for the future impact of AI on testing, business, and society** * **Connect with Dubai’s growing QA and testing community** * **Be part of The Test Tribe’s 2nd Dubai Meetup** ## **About The Test Tribe** **The Test Tribe is the world’s largest software testing community, empowering testers globally since 2018. With 700+ events and 150K+ members across 130+ countries, we bring testers together to learn, grow, and connect through meetups, conferences, cohorts, masterclasses, and more.** ## About pCloudy **Pcloudy is an Agentic AI digital experience testing platform that brings together real devices, real browsers, and intelligent AI agents—guided by human oversight—to validate functionality, performance, and AI behavior across Web, Mobile Apps, and APIs.** **Recognized as the industry’s fastest device cloud with instant device connections, Pcloudy is trusted by 500+ global enterprises and powers 2M+ test runs every month across 5000+ real device & browser combinations, with enterprise-grade security (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR).**

CBusData - Ok I Want to Get Data into Fabric - Now What?
CBusData - Ok I Want to Get Data into Fabric - Now What?
I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Compensation Data
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Compensation Data
**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

Session Abstract **No Map Required: Geospatial Analytics Directly in Your Data Warehouse** Think geospatial analysis requires specialized GIS software? Think again. This session introduces you to shapefiles and spatial operations right inside your database—no mapping application required. We'll demystify shapefiles (what they are, how they work, and where to get them) and show you how nearly every modern database —from DuckDB to Snowflake, supports spatial operations. You'll see practical demos covering spatial joins, distance calculations, and how to determine if two shapes interact with each other. Whether you're a data engineer optimizing delivery routes, an analyst aggregating metrics by geography, or a BI developer building location-aware dashboards, this session will show you how to unlock powerful spatial capabilities already built into your database stack—no specialized tools required. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
