A4Q - Alliance for Qualification

A4Q is a new independent place to strengthen quality in the field of training and certification.

10/06/2026

Software testing is changing fast. The conversations from this year’s summit show where it’s heading.

All presentations from the A4Q Testing Summit 2026 are now available to watch on YouTube.

Across two days, speakers explored the questions shaping quality today:

How do we test AI systems?
Where does GenAI really help testers?
How can teams build quality into modern delivery?
And how do security, accessibility, ethics, and audit readiness change the quality conversation?

With sessions from Sagar Joshi, Rik Marselis, Klaudia Dussa-Zieger, Lilia Gargouri, Maud Schlich, Olivier Denoo, Bruno Legeard, KBTG, and many more, the programme brought together practical insights from across the global software quality community.

You’ll find the links to the Day 1 and Day 2 playlists in the first comment.

AI without strategy is expensive, and often ineffective.

AI initiatives fail when:
• Business objectives are unclear
• Data readiness is ignored
• Risks are underestimated
• Teams don’t know how to evaluate AI systems

AI works best when it is embedded in strategy, governance, and decision-making, not added on at the end.

Understanding how AI supports business goals is what turns experimentation into impact.

The future of quality engineering is already being built.

Congratulations to KBTG, voted Best Presentation 2026 at the A4Q Testing Summit.

Their session, “Quality Level Up = The Roaming of Chai LAI”, showed how AI can move from experimentation into real quality engineering practice, with Chai LAI, SaiJAI, and PRAJAK supporting a broader transformation in testing and AI quality.

A special congratulations to Kornkanda Gerdsri, Wittaya Unjai, and Thitaporn Thapanasakul for a presentation that combined ambition, practical results, and a clear vision for what quality teams can become.

Thank you to everyone who attended, watched, and voted.

Some speakers explain a topic. Others shift how we think about it.

Congratulations to Sagar Joshi, voted Best Speaker 2026 at the A4Q Testing Summit.

His session, “Why Testing AI Systems Breaks Traditional Test Strategies”, challenged testers to rethink familiar assumptions around deterministic behaviour, expected results, bias, model drift, and trust in AI-supported systems.

A big thank you to Sagar for bringing clarity, practical depth, and a strong testing mindset to one of the most important quality topics of our time.

And thank you to everyone who joined the summit and cast their vote.

Forty questions. Sixty minutes. Most CTFL candidates lose points to the clock, not the content.

The candidates who pass cleanly are rarely the ones who studied longest. They are the ones who finished on time.

Three habits separate them on exam day:
- flag uncertain questions and come back,
- never leave a blank answer,
- and keep the last five minutes for review rather than for the hardest remaining question.

Share this with anyone you know preparing for the exam this summer.

Working with Generative AI in testing is no longer a hypothetical.
What matters now is how to adopt it responsibly and effectively.

ISTQB® CT-GenAI supports professionals who already have a solid testing foundation and want to strengthen quality assurance in AI-assisted workflows. The focus is on understanding, justification, and thoughtful integration, not speed or experimentation for its own sake.

Great software isn’t defined by code alone, it’s defined by user experience.
As an SDET, adopting a customer-centric mindset helps you design tests that reflect real user journeys, edge cases, and expectations.

This approach reduces production defects and improves overall user satisfaction.

The A4Q SDET syllabus encourages you to think like a user while applying structured testing techniques, so quality is built around real-world usage.

With over 15,000 users globally, the Test Maturity Model integration (TMMi) is the world-wide leading model for test process improvement. We know it drives higher product quality and better efficiency, but how does it evolve in the age of Artificial Intelligence?

Don't miss out on this presentation by Erik Van Veenendaal at the intersection of proven frameworks and cutting-edge tech during the A4Q Testing Summit 2026, on 27th and 28th of May.

Traditional test automation has long been stuck on ex*****on, but the demand for full-cycle automation is growing as CI/CD and DevOps accelerate. Can the combination of Generative AI and Model-Based Testing (MBT) finally automate the entire process, from the test basis to the final result?

In this session, Matthias Hamburg presents a real-world case study on the ISTQB Glossary App. By integrating GenAI with MBT, the team successfully transformed natural language requirements into test models, generated high-level test cases, and mapped them to automated ex*****on.

The software tester's role is shifting from manual ex*****on to quality leadership. As AI agents begin to handle the "how" of testing, a critical question arises: Do traditional foundations still matter, or is it time for a total educational pivot?

Drawing on his experience with the Sogeti Academy and the German Testing Board, Jürgen Benniermann will explore the essential competencies for the AI-augmented era. The session dives into the move toward critical analysis, risk management, and the technical skills required to stay relevant in DevOps-driven environments.
