Session #1: Building an enhanced QA process

Companies approach quality in different ways, but it often boils down to running manual tests after development is complete. This approach undermines effectiveness, erodes confidence in deliverables, and often leads to poor customer feedback. Focusing on improving QA processes will not only enhance product quality but also fortify the overall quality management system. In this talk, Sofia will share her approach to building and refining QA practices, drawing from her experiences and the challenges she faced along the way.

Key Takeaways:

• Shift from reactive manual testing to proactive QA processes
• Learn practical techniques for building and refining QA processes, including strategies to overcome common challenges during implementation

Session #2: Size Doesn’t Matter: QA Metrics That Make an Impact

As QAs, we embrace the mission of customer satisfaction with great dedication and try to cover our products with as many tests as possible so that nothing slips through the cracks. Many QAs struggle to demonstrate their value and the efficiency of their work, relying on the number of test cases produced as proof of focus and effort. However, large test plans do not necessarily mean quality, even if everything is automated.

So, how can we measure quality? How do we contribute to the success of our organization? How do we become active players, making an impact on the business?

Key Takeaways:

• How to use metrics to showcase the true impact of software quality
• ⁠How to use metrics to showcase business value of QA
• ⁠Explore practical strategies to integrate quality into all stages of development
• ⁠Identify key metrics that contribute to company’s goals
