Algorithms are not just dry theory; they are a way to see problems from a new perspective! In this workshop, we will explore what algorithmic thinking is, why it is useful not only for programmers, and how to develop it in everyday life. With simple examples, clear explanations, and no dull moments, you will start spotting algorithms even where you never noticed them before!

Want to give a talk but don’t know where to start? This workshop will help you find an engaging topic, shape your key idea, and structure it in a way that captivates your audience. We’ll cover how to choose the right format and deliver your message clearly and convincingly.

Perfect for those who want to speak at events but aren’t sure what to talk about yet!

In this workshop, we will demonstrate that working with requirements can be just as engaging as testing a finished product. Through examples, we’ll show how to identify hidden issues in requirements before development even begins, helping to prevent potential errors. Using real-world examples from language-learning and food delivery applications, we will explore common (and not-so-common) mistakes, practice asking the right questions, and learn how to handle sudden changes. A few practical tasks and proven checklists will help you refine your skills and take the quality of your work to the next level.

How to work with a lack of requirements? Or with outright poor requirements? And what if there is no documentation, no analyst, and the business doesn't know what it needs?

How should testers read the specification so that it's not too painful to test later on?

During the workshop, we'll think and discuss how to analyse the gaps in documentation, we'll go through several examples and consider how the process can be improved (without harming other team members).

Frequently, in a software developer's journey, a situation arises where products are intertwined within a complex web of dependencies. In our presentation, we'll delve into the hurdles faced by development teams when it comes to implementing shared functionalities across multiple products.

We'll guide you through the realm of the cross-product approach, highlighting distinctions between this and regular integrations. You will discover effective methods for collaborative development and testing features impacting multiple products. We'll share life hacks and tools that can make this process more understandable, manageable, and successful.

If you're concerned about maintaining consistency and quality when dealing with cross-product features, our presentation will unveil insights and offer valuable recommendations to enhance your development process.

The number of products is growing every year, steadily taking a share of the market. Some of us are already working in products, or have moved from project development to product development. We will show how exactly we have involved the whole team in the product and product hypothesis process, and tell you where and what has worked for us.

In the report will be reviewed techniques that allow you to check the completeness of the requirements in accordance with the project/company definition of this property requirements. It will be provided links to relevant sources of information on techniques: presentations, videos, and articles.
Actual for the requirements of system description level and requirements specification.

Imagine a situation: you are a QA engineer. Amount of bugs raises in every release. Product requirements can be uncovered only by someone in a smoking room or on the kitchen... And now imagine another situation: the whole team understands what, why and when the client wants.

How to get to this another situation? To change the job - the first and the total way that comes into your mind. I thought like this as well earlier, but! Few years ago there was a moment when I tried to test requirements and then formalize this process. There is quite little open information about requirements testing. I will try to tell, why requirements testing is needed, what to start with and what are the first steps of implentation the process.

Everyone who works in testing has faced with the assessment of their work. 

Which considerations can provide an unbiased result and which ones give just non-performing data? And the topical issues for test leads: which metrics can demotivate workers and which ones can make them to work in a different way. 

This and something more in this talk.
