Call for Cases

On Wednesday March 5 & Thursday March 6 2025 the Test Automation Days will be organized at the de Doelen ICC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Future proof test automation: finding the right balance!?

We are in the middle of a storm of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA). While these innovations are intriguing and challenging, we are grappling with the impact on test automation. Along with this state of emerging technologies, we are also dealing with legacy systems that require significant maintenance and attention.

Where do you stand with your test automation approach? Are you engaging with new technologies and if you are, what are your successes, failures or are there any other stories you’d like to share?! Are you tackling challenges in existing systems that need to remain operational for years? Ultimately, have you found the right balance in your test automation approach?

At Test Automation Days 2025, we would love to hear your stories about how you have integrated AI into your daily work. There are also many other interesting topics that we want to provide a platform for. How has automation assisted in improving performance, security, and sustainability in your organisation? Has automation helped you create test data or other prerequisites to enhance testing? What approaches did you use to make automation successful, maintainable, operational and faster?

We would like to provide you with a stage to share your stories about your experiences, vision & innovation. What are the lessons you have learned that you would like to share and discuss with your peers at Test Automation Days 2025?

We are seeking facilitators for tutorials focusing on various test automation skill levels and tools. New testers require guidance and practical exercises to learn and improve. Experienced specialists want to refine their skills and learn about new tools. These tutorials are a 3-hour hands-on, deep dive into a specific tool, technology or approach.

Don’t wait any longer. Start writing your submission now. We hope to see you at Test Automation Days 2025, where we’ll strive to do the right things together and find the right balance in test automation!

The Call for Cases will close at October 23, 2024. We like to read your proposals and will let you know if you will be a part of the conference before November 22, 2024.

Write your proposal and take into account the following criteria:

  • Define the question(s) you want to address during your talk but also give us information about the answers to your questions
  • Use examples in your proposal so we can see how you will apply your experiences in your talk
  • We will be looking if your proposal is presentable within the given time: don’t try to tell too much!
  • Tell us what will make your talk special, what’s the ‘wow’-factor?
  • We have a code of conduct you will agree upon when speaking at TAD

Do you need or would you like some help crafting the perfect proposal? The program committee is here to help you: if you have a first thought but aren’t submission-ready, reach out to a program committee member: we are here to help you and give you feedback. We also save a spot for first-time speakers: if you want to give it a try and need some guidance, please let us know!
