AI Is Challenging Testing, But What About Quality? | Berlin Meetup

Tue, Oct 27, 5:00 PM

From The Test Tribe Berlin

4.5

**14th Berlin Meetup – AI Is Challenging Testing, But What About Quality?** AI is accelerating testing, but faster testing does not automatically mean better quality. As AI becomes part of the testing process, what happens to the role of QA, and who remains accountable for the quality of the product? At The Test Tribe’s 14th Berlin Meetup, Lilit Gyulbenkyan will explore why human judgment, risk management, and quality ownership remain essential in an AI-driven testing landscape. **Session - AI Is Challenging Testing, But What About Quality?** **Speaker: [Lilit Gyulbenkyan, Head of the Software Quality Management Department at the Central Bank of Armenia](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilygyulbenkyan)** With over 15 years of leadership experience across software quality management, product ownership, project delivery, and digital transformation, Lilit brings a governance-focused perspective to the evolving role of QA. The session will explore how AI is changing testing practices while introducing new quality risks, and why QA must evolve beyond test execution to take greater ownership of quality, risk, and responsible AI adoption. The session will cover: * AI and Quality: Why accelerating testing does not automatically guarantee product quality * Emerging Risks: Understanding risks such as false confidence in AI-generated outputs and test results * The Evolving Role of QA: Moving beyond test execution towards quality ownership and risk management * AI Governance: Maintaining human judgment, accountability, and responsible AI adoption throughout the quality lifecycle **Event Details** * Date: 27 October 2026 * Time: 06:00 PM – 08:00 PM CET * Venue: SumUp Office, Berlin **Agenda** * 6:00 PM – 6:15 PM: Welcome & Introductions * 6:15 PM – 7:15 PM: Speaker Session by Lilit Gyulbenkyan on “AI Is Challenging Testing, But What About Quality?”, including Q&A * 7:15 PM – 8:00 PM: Networking over snacks * 8:00 PM: Event Wrap The evening will also offer an opportunity to exchange perspectives with fellow QA and Engineering professionals on how teams can maintain quality, manage risk, and build trust as AI becomes more deeply embedded in software delivery. **About The Test Tribe** The Test Tribe is the world's largest software testing community, empowering testers globally since 2018. With 980+ events and 175K+ members across 130+ countries, we bring software professionals together to learn, grow, and connect through meetups, conferences, cohorts, masterclasses, and more. **Become a Speaker at The Test Tribe Events** Wish to share your insights with the community at a future event?

Berlindroid Monthly Meetup

Wed, Oct 28, 6:00 PM

From GDG Berlin Android

4.8

Join us for our upcoming Android Meetup hosted at **c-base e. V. Berlin** on the **28th**! We have an exciting lineup featuring two tech talks! * **Legally Compliant, Humanly Broken: Mastering Accessibility Subtleties** by Puneet Kala * **Breaking Frozen Frames: Phased Rendering for Feature Rich UIs** by Sinan Kozak Come hang out, learn from experts, network with fellow #AndroidDev, and enjoy the unique atmosphere at c-base! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- * **7:00 PM** \- Doors Open * **7:30 PM** \- Welcome & Introductions **TALKS** * **7:45 PM - Legally Compliant, Humanly Broken: Mastering Accessibility Subtleties** By Puneet Kala A digital product can score a flawless 100% on automated audits and satisfy every legal requirement, yet still deliver a confusing, fatiguing, or emotionally hollow experience. While frameworks like WCAG and accessibility laws establish an indispensable baseline, they fundamentally cannot legislate human perception, cognitive rhythm, or emotional nuance. The gap between a technically compliant interface and a genuinely intuitive one is paved with micro-decisions that rarely appear on a standard compliance checklist. Consider the subtle layers of meaning lost in everyday design choices. A stylistic typeface might visually convey vital emotional context and tone, yet assistive technology receives only flat, uninflected text. Similarly, a thin-weight font might mathematically satisfy standard contrast formulas while remaining virtually invisible in practice, and over-engineered screen reader labels can turn simple navigation into a barrage of cognitive fatigue. These are not technical compliance violations—they are subtle design, perceptual, and semantic oversights that silently break user trust and effortless interaction. In this talk, we step beyond legal mandates to explore the overlooked craftsmanship of digital accessibility. Attendees will examine how typography conveys unwritten context, why perceptual contrast defies rigid mathematical formulas, and how to eliminate hidden auditory friction like announcement noise and punctuation penalties. You will leave with a refined eye for the invisible friction points in design systems and codebases, along with practical mental models to build interfaces that are not just legally sound, but genuinely empathetic and delightful to use. * **8:30 PM** \- Flea Market & Short Break * **8:45 PM - Breaking Frozen Frames: Phased Rendering for Feature Rich UIs** By Sinan Kozak Feature-rich Compose screens often produce frozen frames when multiple heavy UI sections are composed in a single pass. Users are forced to wait for the entire screen to finish composing before seeing anything meaningful, creating slow and unresponsive first-load moments. This talk presents Phased Compose, a phased rendering technique that splits a large composition into deterministic steps. Instead of generating one long frozen frame, each major section renders in its own phase, allowing meaningful content to appear immediately while remaining parts compose progressively. This approach reduced frozen frames by over 30% on complex screens, without delays or timers. I will explain why existing APIs like PausableComposition and lazy layouts don’t solve first-frame jank, and how Phased Compose provides a general, predictable solution. Attendees will learn how to apply phased rendering to ship smoother startup experiences and eliminate long UI stalls in real apps. * **9:30 PM** \- Social Hour & Networking

Berlin Apache Airflow Meetup at idealo!

Thu, Nov 5, 5:00 PM

From Berlin Apache Airflow® Meetup Group

4.9

Join fellow Airflow enthusiasts and leaders at **idealo's offices** for an evening of engaging presentations, delicious food and drinks, and awesome swag! The evening will consist of Airflow-specific presentations followed by networking. We can’t wait to see you there! **PRESENTATIONS** **Talk 1: Scaling Airflow at idealo: From MWAA to Astronomer and Beyond** **Speakers:** *David Hellwig, VP Data, idealo & Shaleena Ann Thomas, idealo* Over three years, idealo consolidated fragmented Airflow instances, Glue PySpark jobs, and other data lake workloads into a centralized platform, standardizing on PySpark. Migrating KPI-critical pipelines from MWAA to Astronomer in 2025 brought zero infrastructure incidents since May. This talk covers that journey: consolidating infrastructure, enabling self-service via automated deployments, reusable operators, blueprint DAGs, and observability, and how centralized ops and developer autonomy go hand in hand. **Talk 2: Apache Airflow for Production-ready AI** **Speaker:** *Sadok Ben Yahya, Senior Engineer at Astronomer* Running AI workloads in production takes more than a model call. This talk shows how Apache Airflow's Common AI provider brings production-ready AI orchestration into your DAGs: single-turn LLM calls, multi-turn agents with tools, and building blocks for RAG, SQL generation, and file analysis. You'll also see how to productionize it all with durable execution, usage limits, and human-in-the-loop review. **AGENDA** * **18:00–18:30:** Check-in / Networking / Snacks * **18:30–18:50:** Talk 1 — Scaling Airflow at idealo (David Hellwig & Shaleena Ann Thomas) * **18:50–19:20:** Talk 2 — Apache Airflow for Production-ready AI (Sadok Ben Yahya, Astronomer) * **19:20–19:30:** Coffee Break * **19:30–20:30:** Closing / Networking
