The Future of QA

Testing has changed faster in the last two years than in the ten before them.
AI writes tests, agents evaluate other agents, and half the tooling in your stack didn't exist when you joined your team.

So what's actually working — and what just demos well?

We're bringing together QA engineers, QA leads and engineering managers from the Vilnius tech scene for two panel discussions and a long evening of conversation. No sales pitches, no product demos. Practitioners talking about what holds up in production.

Come with questions. Panel #2 ends with an open Q&A, and there's a networking zone with proper food and drinks.
