Quality in Small Startups by Sam Connelly & 2026 Job Market by Andrea McHutchon
Wed, Sep 30, 7:30 AMFor our September in-person event generously hosted and supported by Salt Solutions Group, there are two great speakers offering diverse and prescient topics that people have asked us to cover for a while. Sam Connelly, the popular tester and public speaker and former chair of Sydney Testers, will be reprising her talk at Equal Experts: "Small Team, Big Stack", to talk about how she brought in quality practice into a small fintech startup. Andrea McHutchon (Regional Director at Salt) will be giving us the facts and intelligence on the current 2026 tech job market including salary trends and in-demand skills! **Sam Connelly: Small Team, Big Stack: A Quality Toolkit Built from the Ground Up** Most talks about quality assume you've got a QA team, a test framework someone already built, and headcount to spare. This one's for when you don't. **Sam Connelly a.k.a. BugHunterSam**, Principal Quality Consultant within the Equal Experts network in Australia, walks through how a small startup team builds and maintains confidence in what they ship — for a predominantly JavaScript web app — without any of that safety net. **What we'll cover:** * **Unit testing** — what we actually test (and, just as importantly, what we don't) * **BDD, pragmatically** — the test framework we built, and how we've kept it extensible as our underlying model evolves * **Debugging from the outside in** — using analytics frameworks to reconstruct what a user did right before something broke * **Where we're headed** — early experiments including a self-healing UI E2E agent, and using Claude Code as an exploratory testing partner rather than just a coding tool **Andrea McHutchon: An Update on the Sydney Tech Hiring Market and In-Demand Skills in 2026** As part of the event, we will provide an overview of the **current technology talent and hiring market,** sharing - * Real-time insights into candidate availability * Salary trends * In-demand skills * What we are seeing from businesses hiring across the sector. We will also be giving out prizes along with our usual chances for networking and socialisation! Not to be missed
