QA Meetup | Prague
Three STRV engineers on what QA looks like when the products are real: being first on a project before any guardrails exist, what AI is actually doing to test automation, and what it actually takes to keep Surge and Zoe running in production
The lineup:
Petr Pavlík - First on the Project: The Realities of Leading QA
What does a QA Engineer actually do? Most of us would start reciting a list of tools, frameworks and bug reports. But the reality? We're often the middlemen trying to safely deliver software when the proper guardrails aren't even built yet. As the first tester on a brand-new project, I had to learn this the hard way. Let's look at the key insights I gained from the front lines that can help you navigate your next project.
Luanda Diaz - Transitioning to Automation in the Age of Copilot
The leap from manual to automated testing is often described as a "bridge too far" for many testers, but the landscape has shifted. With the advent of AI-powered pair programmers like GitHub Copilot, that bridge is shorter than ever.
Artur Král - Still Human: QA Testing in an AI-Driven World for Surge & Zoe Dating Apps
Working on dating apps means dealing with fast releases, experiments, premium features, notifications and unpredictable user behavior every day. In this talk, I'll share what QA testing looks like on real products like Surge and Zoe, including practical workflows, production challenges and tools like Firebase that help us investigate issues and understand what is happening inside the app. A practical look at modern mobile QA from day-to-day experience.
