Of course, we’re open to fresh ideas that align with the theme. 📅 Ready to share your expertise? Submit your abstract here: https://lnkd.in/eErFM_-J Let’s make Testing United 2025 an event to remember—I hope to see you in Milan! In the meantime, have a holly jolly Christmas! 😊

🌐 The Evolving Role of QA in Driving Innovation 🚀 In today’s tech-driven world, Quality Assurance (QA) is no longer just about finding bugs—it's about enabling innovation, building trust, and ensuring exceptional user experiences. As QA professionals, we’re always adapting to: 🔍 Emerging technologies like AI and machine learning in testing. ⚙️ Automating repetitive tasks to focus on strategic quality improvements. 💡 Collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver value faster. Recently, [insert a story—e.g., “I had the opportunity to lead a team in automating a complex test suite, reducing testing time by 50%, and accelerating our release cycle.”] Moments like these remind us why QA is integral to the software lifecycle. It’s about creating solutions that not only work but excel.

Tired of endless bug hunts? Most QA pros waste time on outdated methods. But these 5 unconventional hacks will revolutionize your testing game: 1. Chaos engineering for QA Intentionally break things to find weak spots. Netflix uses this to bulletproof their systems. Try it: Randomly shut down services during testing. 2. AI-powered test generation Let machines write your test cases. Saves time and catches edge cases humans miss. Start small: Use AI to generate unit tests for a single module. 3. Crowdsourced beta testing Leverage real users for real-world scenarios. Uncovers issues no in-house team would find. Tip: Use platforms like BetaFamily or Testbirds. 4. Visual regression testing Catch UI bugs with pixel-perfect comparison. Sounds complex, but it's surprisingly simple. Tools like Percy or Applitools make it easy. 5. Continuous testing in production Test in live environments without users noticing. Canary releases and feature flags make this possible. Start with a low-risk feature and gradually expand. These hacks aren't just cool - they're game-changers. What's your favorite unconventional QA technique? Will AI completely replace human testers in the future?

QA engineers are not just doing manual testing anymore; instead, we are becoming mentors for our AI tools. We train them, guide them, and use their potential so we can focus on more complex tasks, like testing user experience and analyzing edge cases where the human factor is very important. 🤓 Also, adaptive testing helps reduce technical debt. The fewer outdated tests are left in the project, the less time the team spends on maintaining and fixing them, which eventually lowers costs and improves product quality. 🛠️ So, using AI in testing already helps speed up processes, make releases more reliable, and free up QA team resources for more creative and analytical tasks. 🚀 In the end, all this is aimed at delivering a better product to the user faster, while keeping high quality and reliability. 🏆

Experimentation QA has ARRIVED! While it is not as tantalizing as "AI everything", QA regularly (and without much noise) makes or breaks tests. In fact, CRO agencies value top-notch QA because the cost of not doing it well is prohibitively high. That cost being client trust. It's time A/B testing tools elevated QA to being a competitive advantage. We spoke to dozens of specialists who are either QA stakeholders or conduct the process themselves. Here is their crowd-sourced checklist for robust client-side QA: 1️⃣ Remember: QA should be human-led & user-centric 2️⃣ Does the button work is QA. Does the button work with the page is QA too! 3️⃣ Actively try to break the experience - recommend both Corey Trent & Amrdeep Athwal 4️⃣ Understand user flow & document edge cases. H/t to Hannah Parvaz & Kalki Gillespie 5️⃣ Test across devices, browsers, and network conditions 6️⃣ Verify targeting, segmentation & test tool set up. Thank you, Ken Hanson 7️⃣ Check for race conditions (when timing of events cause conflict), especially in SPA environments 8️⃣ Check for interference with personalizations and website elements in general 9️⃣ Handle visual & performance issues (spotting flicker effect, fixing delayed page loads) 🔟 Retest & monitor after launch — advise Emily Isted & Laura Forster To get their server-side QA checklist, and a lot more ... head on over to the comments and read our latest blog, all about QA in experiments.

Happy Testers' Day! 🐞🔍🛡️  ✔️Testers are irreplaceable, even with the rise of AI. In fact, AI increases the workload for testers and improves efficiency when used right. 🤖⚙️ ✔️ Here’s an analogy: I consider myself a good tester, and I love finding complex tech and business bugs. But now, as I focus more on development, I find it hard to catch the same types of bugs I’d easily spot in another developer’s code. The point is, a dedicated testing mindset is crucial, no matter who writes the code. 🧠⚙️ A QA mindset grows with experience. It can’t be replaced by a developer, no matter how experienced they are in coding. Testing is a skill of its own. #TestersDay #QualityAssurance #TestingMindset #SoftwareTesting #QA
