In this moment: Susanne Abdelrahman
Coming all the way from New York to Brighton, we're very happy to announce that Susanne Abdelrahman will be joining us at MoTaCon to answer this head-on in her talk: Can we actually co-own quality?

Drawing from her deep experience at Dropbox, Susanne will share how quality practices can be successfully redistributed across functions, without losing the soul of the testing process.

What you’ll learn in this session: 
  • Why 'everyone owns quality' often falls apart in practice. 
  • The QACI principle: A framework to make distributed ownership clear and accountable. 
  • How to move beyond checklists so teams develop deeper quality intuition. 
  • How to establish quality standards that actually work in your specific context.

Whether your team is currently navigating a shift in ownership or you’re a leader looking to build a more resilient quality culture, Susanne’s insights are essential.

Very much looking forward to this talk from Susanne. She has many good things to share from her multitude of experiences! I do like the QACI approach, as seen in the Software Quality Engineering Certificate (SQEC).
