QA Meetup

Are you passionate about quality assurance and want to stay ahead of the curve? Join us for an evening of knowledge-sharing, hands-on insights, and great conversations at trivago's Düsseldorf HQ!

Whether you're a QA engineer, developer, or tech enthusiast — this meetup is your chance to connect with peers, learn from seasoned practitioners, and explore the frontiers of modern quality assurance.

We have three fantastic talks lined up:

Talk 1 — AI-Driven Dev & QA: The Metrics That Prove It
Andrei Khabarov — AI/Frontend Engineer @ QASE
Rocket engineer turned AI/Frontend engineer, Andrei is QASE's AI adoption lead — responsible for researching, educating, building, and deploying internal AI tools that transformed the way his team ships and tests software. In this talk, he'll walk us through the pitfalls, the real costs, and how he built a fully transparent system to demonstrate the effectiveness of AI coding in development and QA.

Talk 2 — Randomize Your Automated Tests!
Alexei Vinogradov — CEO, Curio IT GmbH
Alexei brings over 25 years of software development and QA experience, having worked with major companies such as Deutsche Post, Deutsche Telekom, eBay, and ING-DiBa. He is the creator of Selenide, the widely used Java library for Selenium-based testing, and a frequent conference speaker across Europe and beyond. In this session, Alexei will show you how randomized test execution can uncover elusive defects and dramatically boost the robustness of your test suite.
