### "Using AI in Web Test Automation", by Oksana Tsoi, Team Leader at Devexperts

About the Talk
This talk is a field report from putting AI into real Playwright work: planning, writing, reviewing, and fixing tests. What stuck, where it confidently lied, and the guardrails that made it useful instead of noisy. Expect concrete workflows, sharp failures, and a practical takeaway you can try on Monday — not another “prompt magic” pitch.

About the Speaker
Oksana is a QA engineer with 14 years in the field. She has built frameworks from scratch and taken big legacy suites apart and put them back together in a way that actually holds up.

### "Shifting E2E Tests Left in Mobile Development", by Roman Kudriavtsev, QA Engineer at Wire IT

About the Talk
Red end-to-end tests became merge blockers. That meant failures were fixed in the PR that introduced them, not two weeks later during a release scramble.
Making that possible required impact analysis, parallelized execution, a stable main branch, and four months of convincing the team to trust the process.
The results: PR feedback went from 60 minutes to 12, critical production bugs dropped by roughly 50%, and releases stopped being an event.
This talk explores what it takes to make end-to-end tests reliable enough to block merges — and how that changes the way software gets delivered.

About the Speaker
Roman is an SDET with over five years of experience in test automation, specializing in mobile applications, APIs, chatbots, and voice assistants. He builds automation frameworks from the ground up, implements CI quality gates, and leads teams focused on delivering reliable software releases.
