Session #1: Health and Quality. A life change

Going through a career change is always a big challenge and is not always easy, especially if it is a completely different area. But nothing is impossible and with effort everything can be achieved. What was my experience like? What difficulties did I encounter and what strategies did I use to better achieve my goal? For those who are new to QA or looking to a change, what can you do? For those who are already experienced in the QA, how can you help people who have less experience and are going through a career change process? Are only Hard Skills important or are Soft Skills also essential?

Key Takeaways:

• How to make a career change from a completely different field to the Software Quality area?
• What Hard Skills and Soft Skills are necessary for this change?
• What are the challenges in a career change?
• How can more experienced professionals help newcomers?

Session #2: Cross-browser testing with Playwright and BrowserStack

Despite efforts to make the internet more standardized, differences between browsers still cause some site functions to not work as expected on certain devices. In this talk, I will talk about Playwright and BrowserStack tools, which can help you more easily verify how a site behaves across different browsers. Playwright is a popular test automation tool, and BrowserStack enables the use of real and emulated devices for testing websites and mobile applications.

Key Takeaways:

• Why use Playwright
• Why use BrowserStack
• Comparing Playwright with other testing frameworks
