The MoT Athens summer event is happening again!

Join in for an unforgettable evening of insights and inspiration with all-star guests from the software testing world, meaningful conversations, and relaxed networking by the garden. 

The night will flow from community talks into a vibrant summer party atmosphere — learning, connecting, and celebrating by the “beach” vibe.

The Talks:

  • QA & Audit yourself: The fastest path to growth with Rafaela Azevedo
    • This talks connects quality assurance with self-audit as a mindset for personal growth. Drawing from real QA experience, it shows how the same principles used to find gaps in systems can help us reflect, improve, and continuosly evolve.
  • Node.js and Testing, 6 Years Later: The Cost of Blind Trust with Wim Selles
    • In this talk, I'll connect the basics from back then to today's reality. Hoew dependency trees, lock files, and everyday tooling choices affect test stability and trust.
  • From Polling to Events: The Future of Browser Automation with Diego Molina
    • This talk contrasts traditional polling-based testing with an event-driven model, showing how modern tools enable more reliable browser automation through browser events.
  • Test Selection in the 21st Century with Simon Stewart
    • With the dawn of AI our CI systems will be overwhelmed by the number of tests that need to be run. Our only hope is to run fewer of them. How do we find the subset of tests that will let us know software is safe to deploy? We have the technology.
  • How to have fun with QA? with Noemi Ferrera
    • This talk explores how fun, creativity, and curiosity can be part of everyday QA work.
