Hands on Testing

¿Tus pruebas están ayudando al equipo a avanzar ↪ o solo acompañan el release?

Matias Magni nos trae en cómo las pruebas híbridas pueden aportar mucho más a la calidad de lo que podríamos pensar a simple vista.

El valor se encuentra en tres aspectos:

📌 Escalar sin perder rendimiento.
📌 Alinear QA, desarrollo y negocio.
📌 Detectar problemas antes, cuando corregirlos todavía es más simple.

Cuando la estrategia de pruebas se comunica con el negocio, la calidad se convierte en parte integral del producto.

What if your AI model is underperforming not because of the algorithm, but the data? 🤔

Advait Avinash, Project Manager with 16+ years in QA and emerging tech, raises something concrete at Hands-On Testing:

Most teams inherit fragmented data: spreadsheets, databases, documents, all disconnected.

Each source tells a different story.

The AI tries to learn from all of them at once.
The result isn't a smarter model. It's a confused one.

Data quality isn't a preprocessing step. It's a foundation 🔍

¿Tu equipo tiene conversaciones reales sobre calidad o solo reporta métricas? 🤔

Claudia Badell habla en Hands-On Testing sobre QPAM, un modelo que ayuda a los equipos a entender dónde están realmente en sus prácticas de calidad.

No para cumplir un proceso.
Para activar conversaciones honestas sobre lo que funciona y lo que no.

La calidad no es responsabilidad exclusiva del tester.
Se construye colectivamente 🎯
