From Tests to Trust: How QA Creates Value Outlasting Tech Shift | Toronto Meetup
The Test Tribe 13th Toronto Meetup – From Tests to Trust: How QA Creates Value That Outlasts Technology Shifts
Tools change.
Frameworks evolve.
AI reshapes workflows.
But one thing remains constant: the expectation that QA delivers value.
In a world of rapid technological change, the real question isn’t what tools we use - it’s how QA creates trust, clarity, and better decisions across teams.
At the 13th Toronto Meetup, we step back from tools and trends to explore a deeper question: What does quality really mean to the business - and how can QA deliver it consistently, regardless of technology shifts?
**Event Details**
* **Date: April 29th, 2026 (Wednesday)**
* **Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM ET**
* **Venue: Tribal Scale**
* **Maps Link:** https://maps.app.goo.gl/hqUyAVXKLQhPFsUK6?g_st=ic
(Please enter via **35 John St.**, where a volunteer will be stationed downstairs to guide you to the venue)
**Session: From Tests to Trust: How QA Creates Value That Outlasts Technology Shifts**
**Speaker: Youssef Menkhour**
**About the Session**
Technology in QA is evolving rapidly - but expectations from stakeholders often remain unchanged.
In this session, Youssef Menkhour brings a QA Director’s perspective to explore:
* What different roles (engineering, product, business) actually expect from testing
* How QA creates value indirectly, beyond test execution
* Why traditional outputs - tests, reports, meetings - often fail to drive real decisions
* How to simplify QA practices to better support clarity, alignment, and impact
This talk challenges conventional thinking and focuses on how QA can move beyond activity-driven work to become a driver of trust and decision-making within organizations.
**Key Takeaways**
* Understand what stakeholders truly expect from QA
* Learn how QA delivers value beyond test cases and execution
* Simplify testing outputs to better support real decisions
* Shift from activity-driven QA to impact-driven quality engineering
* Build practices that remain relevant across changing technologies
**About the Speaker**
Youssef Menkhour is a Director of Quality Assurance with 15+ years of experience leading enterprise and SaaS-focused QA organizations across industries including insurance, banking, media, and telecommunications.
At Alithya, he advises clients on quality modernization, helping organizations adopt automation-first strategies, shift-left testing, and CI/CD-aligned delivery models.
Youssef is passionate about redefining QA’s role - from a supporting function to a strategic contributor that drives trust, alignment, and long-term value.
**Why You Should Attend**
* Gain a leadership perspective on the future of QA
* Learn how to create value beyond tools and frameworks
* Understand how to align QA work with business outcomes
* Rethink how testing supports decision-making
* Connect with Toronto’s QA and tech community

REST is for Agents: Rediscovering Spring HATEOAS
The playbook for AI agent integration is becoming predictable: build an MCP server, expose your APIs as tools, and define the rules in prompts. That approach works, but it often pushes workflow and guardrails into client-side logic, where they are harder to enforce and easier to bypass.
This talk presents a different approach. HATEOAS (Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State)—a largely overlooked part of REST—allows an API to describe allowed actions and constraints at runtime. That makes it a natural fit for agents, which need clear, machine-readable guidance about what they can safely do next.
We’ll show this in action with MoneyMate, an AI agent that performs sensitive operations such as money transfers. Using the Spring HATEOAS project, the agent is guided entirely by the API rather than by hardcoded tools or fragile prompt logic.
AI hype aside, this is ultimately a talk about architectural validation. For years, HATEOAS was the hill REST purists loved to die on—complete with finger-wagging about “doing REST correctly”—while everyone else quietly shipped simple JSON and moved on. It turns out the purists weren’t wrong—just 20 years early. Come see why that extra structure finally pays off when your client is an LLM.
**About the venue**
Free Times Cafe has bistro-style seating and a full food and drink menu. Please consider helping to support the venue by planning to have supper during the talk.

He has developed a 360-degree view of what it takes to build software systems efficiently, and economically.
Agentic SDLC
**Agentic SDLC**
Software delivery is entering its next phase—one where the SDLC doesn’t just execute, it collaborates.
Agentic SDLC brings AI out of the sidelines and embeds it across every phase of the lifecycle—from planning and coding to testing, deployment, and operations. These aren’t passive tools waiting for prompts—they’re proactive teammates that anticipate needs, automate repetitive work, surface risks early, and keep delivery flowing.
In this session, we’ll explore how intelligent agents are reshaping the entire SDLC. Think beyond code completion: agents that refine backlog items, generate and review pull requests, create meaningful tests, enforce standards, flag risks before they become incidents, and even monitor production with context.
We’ll walk through real-world scenarios and practical implementations showing how teams are using agentic approaches to boost productivity, improve code quality, and accelerate delivery—without sacrificing control or flexibility.
You’ll also see how this can be done across a diverse ecosystem of tools and platforms—cloud or on-prem, open-source or commercial—so you can adopt what works best for your environment.
Whether you’re a developer, tester, architect, or team lead, you’ll leave with concrete patterns and ideas to evolve your SDLC into a smarter, more adaptive system—where AI doesn’t replace the team, but makes every part of it stronger.

The Lytic Threshold
**This is a ticketed event. Please register at [this link](https://luma.com/gprawfks).**
In this talk, Sheikh Abdur Raheem Ali:
1) Discusses rare cases where deployed LLMs have been observed to engage in self-directed behavior which would have led to catastrophic outcomes if the agent escaping containment were equipped with stronger capabilities.
2) Introduces arbitrium, a peptide-based communication method used by certain bacteriophages which release small molecules known as autoinducers to decide coordinated population-level behavior, and in particular lytic and lysogenic pathways, with a quorum-sensing mechanism.
3) Explores landmark results from alignment science which inform our current understanding of LLM biology (<250 malicious documents required to poison training datasets vs <100 viral particles required to produce infection in humans).
4) Analyzes early findings from experiments which attempt to investigate scalable improvements to defenses that monitor the internal activations of production transformer models (such as probes) and demonstrates how these enable targeted interventions on known distributions which are more difficult to achieve with input/output only methods (such as prompted classifiers) in certain cases (such as long context windows or latent reasoning models)
