In the last decade Test Automation Days has proven to be the key meeting place for the international test automation community. A two day conference filled with innovative and transforming talks, workshops and hands-on experiences. Discover the most up-to-date techniques and test tools, network with software testing professionals and learn from world’s leading test automation experts.
The Impact of Test Automation
Who doesn’t want to create impact? It may sound like a rhetorical question, but actually demonstrating your impact is another matter entirely. That’s why we’re calling on you to share your story – to inspire your peers and showcase how your work in Test Automation (TA) has truly made a difference.
Impact can take many forms. Consider sharing your experiences through one or more of the following (or other) angles:
Testing Excellence: How has test automation helped you or your team achieve better (testing) outcomes?
Organizational Resilience: In what ways has TA contributed to more stable or adaptive systems, teams and your organization?
Business Value: What was the impact on the business – from reducing costs to delivering better systems, faster?
Sustainability: How has TA contributed to greener, more sustainable testing practices? Or the impact of TA on sustainability?
Non-Functional Testing: What impact has TA had on performance, security, or other non-functional aspects?
Team Collaboration: Has test automation improved collaboration and communication in your (Scrum) team?
Your Personal Journey: As a TA engineer, how have you made an impact – whether through success, failure, or valuable lessons learned?
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 2026?
