Meet Maryna Didkovska 👋

Maryna Didkovska is Head of Quality Engineering Practice for Europe and Senior Director, Quality Architecture at EPAM Systems.

At Testing United, Maryna will present the track talk "When Green Dashboards Silence Human Judgment" 🚀

💡 What’s the talk about?

AI agents don’t always fail dramatically. Sometimes, they fail quietly — while dashboards stay green and metrics continue to look healthy.
Maryna will explore how “good” AI metrics can create an illusion of safety, how AI agents can drift from human intent, and why human judgment remains critical in AI-enabled systems.

🎯 What you'll learn:
• Why green dashboards can still hide business risk
• How AI agents can drift without triggering traditional quality signals
• How to combine metrics, governance, and human judgment in AI-driven environments

Meet Aleksandr Gritsevski 👋

Aleksandr is a QA and Engineering Leader with more than 30 years of experience in software development, automation, and large-scale quality engineering.

At Testing United, Aleksandr will present the track talk "Automate All Around You with Copilot" 🚀

💡 What’s the talk about?
Modern teams face increasing pressure to deliver reliable results faster while managing complex data platforms, changing schemas, and growing quality demands. Yet many validation, reporting, and release activities remain manual.

In this session, Aleksandr will share how GitHub Copilot and GitHub Actions helped transform a traditional testing workflow into a highly automated ecosystem. Through real-world examples, he’ll demonstrate how AI-assisted engineering can automate not only testing, but also reporting, documentation, release orchestration, integrations, and communication workflows.

🎯 What you'll learn:
• How AI and CI/CD can automate the entire data-quality lifecycle
• How GitHub Copilot acts as a force multiplier for engineering teams
• How automation reduces manual work and enables teams to focus on higher-value activities
• Practical patterns for scaling quality and delivery through AI-driven automation

Meet Nina Illum & Eleonore Fly Ringgaard 👋

Nina Illum is a Junior Test Consultant at Key2Quality with a background in Information Science and Cognitive Science. She focuses on the interaction between people, technology, and organizations, bringing an analytical approach to understanding how IT can better support users and teams.

Eleonore Fly Ringgaard is Head of Competencies & Knowledge, TMAP Trainer, and Senior QA Consultant at Key2Quality. With 10 years of experience across IT projects and complex delivery environments, she helps organizations improve quality through practical testing strategies, coaching, and sustainable ways of working.

Together, Nina and Eleonore will present the track talk “Business Testers & GenAI: How does AI influence the Business Mindset Towards Testing and Their Confidence in Quality” at Testing United 🚀

💡 What’s the talk about?
When business users are involved in testing, challenges often arise around test design, documentation, and understanding the value of structured testing practices. With the introduction of GenAI tools, a new opportunity emerges — not to replace human judgment, but to reshape how business testers engage with quality.

Based on real client cases and ongoing research, Nina and Eleonore will explore how GenAI influences business testers’ mindset, confidence, and collaboration with QA professionals.

🎯 Key questions explored:
• Does AI reduce resistance toward test documentation?
• Can GenAI increase confidence in quality — or create overconfidence?
• How does AI influence exploratory thinking and human judgment?
• How can organizations introduce AI in a way that strengthens quality ownership?

At Testing United, Rik plays a triple role as our Vision Chair, keynote speaker, and workshop facilitator. In addition to sharing his insights on stage, he will also lead the half-day workshop "Human-Machine Collaboration: Exploratory Testing with your GenAI-peer" 🚀

💡 What’s the workshop about?
Exploratory testing remains one of the most valuable ways to uncover risks, leverage human creativity, and evaluate software quality. Traditionally, the most effective exploratory testing is done in pairs — but what if your testing partner could be GenAI?

In this hands-on workshop, Rik will explore how testers can collaborate with GenAI tools during exploratory testing, using AI as a peer to generate ideas, support investigation, document findings, and enhance the overall testing process.

🎯 What you'll learn:
• Why exploratory testing is becoming even more important in the age of AI-infused applications
• How to pair effectively with GenAI tools during exploratory testing sessions
• How AI can make exploratory testing more effective, more efficient, and even more enjoyable

AI is transforming software testing, but many teams still use it in isolated ways. This workshop presents a practical vision of how humans and AI can work together across the entire testing lifecycle — from improving requirements and designing tests to automating ex*****on.

István will demonstrate how connecting these activities into a single workflow can strengthen quality, reduce fragmentation, and help teams get real value from AI.

🎯 What you'll learn:
• How AI can help identify gaps, ambiguities, and contradictions in requirements
• How AI-driven test design can uncover more defects through action-state models
• How AI can support test automation by interacting with applications like a real tester
• How to build a unified workflow where human expertise and AI continuously reinforce each other
