The Ninth QS-Barcamp

Here we go again – it’s time for the ninth round of our QS-Barcamp! The past few years have shown us just how much fun it is to spend two days exchanging ideas with quality enthusiasts and testing experts in an inspiring setting. Expect engaging discussions, fresh perspectives, and valuable connections!

Our Guest - Marko Ilic (Conciso GmbH)

Testing in production - we listen and we don't judge!

Testing in production sounds like a nightmare to many - but anyone who operates systems with the highest demands on availability, performance and security knows that real stress tests never take place in the test system. We take a look at why “error-free” is not enough when reality is more complex than any laboratory scenario.

Using practical examples, we take a look at modern strategies such as synthetic monitoring, canary releases and predictive alerting. We shed light on the difference between technical and real business availability and show how white-box and black-box monitoring need to work together to maintain an overview - even if everything goes wrong at the same time.

Let's look at how controlled testing in production not only reduces risk, but creates real resilience - for systems and for teams!

The keynote will be in German.

Save the Date – Every Year

Mark your calendar and spread the word: as decided by the participants of the very first QS-Barcamp, the first weekend in September is QS-Barcamp weekend – every year, for all eternity!

We’ve also discussed the possibility of hosting additional Barcamps, but we currently don’t have the capacity to organize and manage these.

Would you like to support the organizing team? If so, get in touch with us or send an email to Maximilian Voigt (maximilian.voigt@oose.de).

Reasons to come

Program

At a Barcamp, you shape the agenda! The "Open Space" format provides you with a framework where you can introduce your own topics or questions (called the "marketplace"), which are then worked on in sessions in a self-organized and collaborative manner.

A Barcamp thrives only on YOUR contributions.
Contributions, ideas, and suggestions can be brought up in advance in the StugHH.

Organizers

StugHH

Behind StugHH lies the Hamburg Software Test User Group. We organize ourselves via LinkedIn and come together for regular events, workshops, and presentations in Hamburg – basically a real-life group with online coordination.

Discuss, network, exchange ideas, or just chat. Discover that others also face similar problems or have already found a solution. True to the motto: Explore – Experiment – Error, we want to make mistakes to learn from them. But above all, we want to have fun doing it.

Do you want to learn more? Then visit our Barcamp or become part of StugHH! We look forward to meeting you and helping to implement ideas!
