Testing Times! Being a Quality Engineer in 2025 | In Person 6th Berlin Meetup

The role of a Software Quality Engineer has evolved rapidly, and navigating through the ever-changing landscape of testing can feel overwhelming. With new technologies, tools, and methodologies emerging at lightning speed, testers often find themselves caught in a whirlwind of complex jargon and industry shifts.

​But amidst all the change, some things remain constant—the fundamentals of quality. While organizations define quality in different ways, one truth holds: alignment within teams and organizations is key to delivering high-quality software.

​So, as we step into 2025, what does it truly mean to be a tester? Is mastering the latest tools enough, or do we need a strong foundation in testing principles? How do we adapt, evolve, and stay relevant in these testing times?

​Join us at The Test Tribe’s 6th Berlin Meetup, where we’ll dive into the realities of software testing today, challenge the norms, and redefine what it means to be a Quality Engineer in 2025.

​Session: Testing Times! Being a Quality Engineer in 2025

Speaker: Ashutosh – Software Engineer in Test | 10+ Years in Software Quality

​In this interactive session, we’ll challenge the testing times themselves, discussing:

• The evolving role of a tester – what has changed and what remains constant
• How to balance fundamental testing skills with emerging tools and technologies
• The importance of context-driven quality rather than a one-size-fits-all approach
• Career challenges faced by testers at all levels – from junior QAs to experienced professionals
