The AI-Powered QA: Work Smarter, Test Better, Build More

Quality Assurance is evolving fast, and the QAs who thrive are the ones who embrace the tools shaping the future of software testing.

This talk is a practical and inspiring guide to integrating AI into your day-to-day QA workflow. Whether you're writing test cases, managing releases, hunting those sketchy bugs or even automating processes, AI can help you move faster, think sharper, and focus on what actually matters, finding issues that count.

But this isn't just about working more efficiently. It's about unlocking a new mindset: one where QAs become builders. With AI as your co-pilot, you don't need to be a test engineer to create custom tools, automate repetitive tasks, or generate intelligent test data on demand. The barrier between "tester" and "toolmaker" has never been lower.

We'll explore real, hands-on examples of how AI can streamline your processes today, while also challenging you to think bigger about what your role can look like tomorrow. Because staying current with industry trends isn't optional anymore, it's the skill that separates good QAs from great ones.

Come ready to be challenged, inspired, and equipped.

Speakers: Luiza Spiegel & Pedro Ferreira, Sword Health

Stop Tapping Manually, You Deserve Better: Mobile Testing with Maestro

Manual mobile testing is time-consuming, hard to scale, and not always accessible to teams without a strong coding background. In this talk, we'll explore Maestro — an open source mobile testing framework that makes automation approachable for everyone, from junior QEs to seasoned engineers.

We'll cover how to get started quickly, walk through practical tips for writing reliable flows, and show how to build a scalable test suite using real-world examples. We'll also be honest about the tool's limitations, because no tool is perfect.

Whether your app is built with React Native, Flutter, or native iOS/Android, if you're still tapping through test cases manually, this talk is for you.
