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.

Talk 2: Quality Engineering: From Assurance to Engineering Confidence — Jagrit Gyawali
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.
