After watching this talk, you’ll be able to write smarter and more comprehensive tests in Java using Property-based Testing - and catch bugs you didn’t even know existed at a fraction of the effort

Explore how risk can guide smarter testing decisions.

Learn what produces usable tests and confident-looking garbage, and where the failure modes hide.

Watch this live demo where the audience was the test.

Learn how to survive and adapt as a solo test lead on a large, long-running project.

Stop treating quality as a final gate and start using these practical, field-tested rituals to bake reliability into your product from the very first idea.

See where AI genuinely helps, where it doesn’t, and how testers can stay firmly in control

Shipping fast shouldn't mean shipping blind.

Identify, test and improve AI guardrails through a structured, scenario-based framework that addresses common implementation failures and attack patterns.

A thoughtful, vulnerable episode about grief, identity, AI, writing, and the emotional cost of trying to influence quality in organisations that don’t always listen.

Live experimentation, technical glitches, and community challenges along the way

This Week in Quality enters a new, cameras-on format

Principal Developer Advocate Adriana Vilela joins Rosie Sherry to explore tech careers, observability, OpenTelemetry, AI slop in open source, and why quality is still a very human job.

Principal engineer Abby Bangser explains how platform engineering shifts quality feedback into the infrastructure layer. And why that's a massive opportunity for quality engineers.

Adam Davis explains why observability, not prompt engineering, is the real challenge in AI-assisted projects, using his phone-display art project Pixelmesh as a live test bed.

Seventeen years in quality, rejections, then two offers. We did that.
