End: 2024-12-05T20:00:00.000Z
Location: JetBrains Berlin

*In collaboration with* [JetBrains](https://www.jetbrains.com) *and with three very sophisticated talks on our stage, [Qase](https://qase.io) is presenting the **first** Meetup on Quality Engineering in Amsterdam.*

**AGENDA**

The doors open at 6:00 pm, the first talk starts at 6:30 pm, and the meetup lasts until 9:30 pm.

**1\. Liliia Abdulina\, JetBrains\, Head of QA at Kotlin team: *Behind the сode: the evolution of QA in Kotlin***

What does quality assurance look like for a programming language team? And more importantly — why does it evolve in certain ways?

In this session, we'll walk through the story of the Kotlin QA team, from its humble beginnings in 2015 with just one member, to a team of 25 today. We'll explore the gradual transformations in our team structure and processes, shaped by the unique challenges and demands brought on by the growth and maturation of Kotlin and its ecosystem.

Through the lens of the Kotlin team, you’ll discover why embracing complexity is sometimes essential, when to adapt processes, and how to align QA with the evolving needs of a product team. This is a rare opportunity to peek behind the curtain of QA for a programming language and its ecosystem as intricate and far-reaching as Kotlin.

**2\. Vitaly Sharovatov\, Qase\, developer advocate: *From Astrology to Code Reviews: Magical Thinking in Life, Software Development and QA***

We don't use astrology in hiring, yet we search for the root cause in our postmortems. We don’t hammer screws into wood, yet we bring the same code review process to a new company that we used at a previous job. We don't rely on fortune cookie predictions for new feature success, yet we sometimes treat engineers’ estimates as exact timelines.

These are just a few examples of the numerous cognitive biases, mental sets, and magical thinking that negatively affect our decision-making and work efficiency in software development and QA.

In this talk, Vitaly will present a rational approach to work, helping us recognize where intuition and "common sense" fail, how to act more rationally, make optimal decisions, and ultimately work happier.

**3\. Artur Parpibaev\, JetBrains\, Kotlin QA Automation Team Lead: *Kotlin: How to create e2e coverage of a programming language?***

Testing a programming language is not common knowledge, yet it is not rocket science either. In this talk, Artur will set on a journey through the Kotlin language’s end-to-end coverage. We will explore various areas of Kotlin tooling, such as Compiler, Build Tools, and IDE Plugin, and how we ensure everything works smoothly on the user side.

Quality Engineering Meetup #1

JetBrains Amsterdam

*In collaboration with* [JetBrains](https://www.jetbrains.com) *and with three very sophisticated talks on our stage, [Qase](https://qase.io) is presenting the **fifth** Meetup on Quality Engineering in Berlin.*

**AGENDA**

**1\. Roman Evstigneev\, Marketing & Ops Lead: *Marketing as the first step to Quality Assurance***

Roman explores the often-misunderstood role of marketing in delivering high-quality products. Starting with the basics of marketing and quality, Roman dives into the core challenges faced when tech and marketing teams operate with misaligned mindsets, resulting in project inefficiencies and communication breakdowns. Drawing on examples like the difference between evolutionary and deterministic approaches, he argues for rethinking traditional views on quality and collaboration.

**2\. Veronika Ilina\, Consultant: *Quality assurance of… communications!***

Communication is a key. But how does it work? Veronika will share strategies for effective communication at work and examine two aspects: the rational side, with a practical checklist to guide you through communication process, and the emotional side, focusing on creating a comfortable and safe space for yourself and others. The session will center on a high-stakes scenario: asking for a salary rase. We invite you not just to listen but to participate in storyline of the talk.

**3\. Aleksandr Ilin\, Consultant: *When to Use Chaos Engineering: Exploring the Limits of Applicability***
