Code review is a critical stage in the test automation lifecycle, yet many teams struggle with inconsistencies in their processes. In this session, Mesut Durukal shares his experience leading a team where reviewers had differing approaches—some overly strict, others too lenient—leading to inefficiencies and frustration. Using real-world examples, both good and bad, Mesut will illustrate how his team tackled these challenges and created a balanced, impactful code review process.

In this session, Gomathi Ramalingam sheds light on the critical role of exploratory testing in navigating the complexities of blockchain systems. With its intricate architecture and high-stakes environment, blockchain demands a testing approach that goes beyond traditional methods. Gomathi will discuss the benefits of exploratory testing, specific techniques tailored for blockchain, and why organizations in the blockchain space must prioritize this approach to ensure robust and secure systems.

In this session, Ashwini Lalit delves into how Quality Engineering teams can leverage a data-driven approach to Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to achieve quality excellence. Traditional workflows often mask inefficiencies and bottlenecks behind agile ceremonies and feel-good optics, making it challenging to gauge the true readiness of release deliverables. By combining VSM with agile principles and DevOps tools, Ashwini demonstrates how to visualize workflows holistically, streamline production releases, and transition from reactive to proactive quality processes.
