MoT London

🎉 We're looking forward to another year of MoT London Meetups.
  

Our next MoT London is happening, come and join us!
 

📸 MoTography Session

We're hoping to have a space for our MoTographer to take some profile pictures. We may also try to create our own "stock photos", who is up for posing, doing quality things, pretending to work, having good conversations? ☺️

 

Talk 1: Stop Testing "Login Pages": Security-Aware Auth Testing From Real User Scenarios — Viola Lykova
 

Authentication isn't a page, it's an adversarial system. Most teams still test a happy-path login while real users hit lockouts, MFA failures, session loops, and risky edge cases.
 
 This practical talk shows how to test authentication the way users actually experience it: sign-in, sign-up, password reset, session expiry, and step-up verification. You'll learn how to build a simple "auth test matrix" that focuses on high-risk flows, stays stable in CI, and avoids unsafe shortcuts with secrets and test data.
 
 You'll leave with a reusable checklist for shipping auth changes with confidence.
  

 In this talk, I’ll share how Quality Engineering has grown beyond traditional QA to become a central part of how teams design, build, and release software. Drawing on real-world experience, I’ll explain how automation, behaviour-driven development, and layered testing accelerate delivery, reduce risk, and make quality a shared responsibility across engineering, product, and design. You’ll see how tests, written at the right level and with the right intent, can become a trusted safety net rather than a bottleneck, and what the next phase of Quality Engineering looks like as it becomes fully embedded within development.
