You asked for Quality Assurance, here it comes.
You are welcome to QA focused 94th DevClub.lv on March 25 at 18:00.
Please register on hopin.to.
In addition to Hopin event we will have also Clubhouse room for “kitchen talks” which is meant to be place where we can simply chat without any specific topic (maybe discuss something what speakers have talked about, maybe just kill time while not so interesting talk is passing, maybe just talk with somebody outside your household). If you are not in Clubhouse yet, here is Secret Clubhouse invite link for 10 people (first come, first get) (at the moment only iOs devices are supported 🙁 ).

Agenda for Quality Assurance focused 94th DevClub.lv

• Andrei Solntsev from Codeborne will give a talk “Flaky tests“.
  The talk is about flaky, or unstable tests – why it’s the biggest trouble in test automation and how to overcome it. I will show my collection of real examples of flaky tests from my experience. These are really tricky investigations that lasted many days, weeks and even years!
  The talk will be interesting to both testers and developers – anyone who loves to solve unsolvable puzzles.

• Artūrs Jānis Pētersons from Loadero will give a talk on “Load testing for small projects“.
  Load testing is a topic that most projects skip to push product to market sooner, because it costs more money and maybe everything will be fine anyway. In practice we hear about products suffering from load related problems almost every day. This talk will focus on load testing cases for small projects and will give some tips based on experience on optimizing the load tests and executing them more efficiently.

• Joel Lord from Red Hat will give a talk Kube Restaurant.
  You’ve been to a restaurant before, right? Have you noticed how everything is structured? Everyone has a job and there is a chain of command. You can’t just walk into the kitchen and tell the cook how you want your steak done.  Kubernetes is actually very similar to this. You will deploy some pods that do specific things and set the rules of communications that dictate how they all talk to each other. By expanding on the idea of a restaurant, the speaker will slowly introduce some of the basic concepts behind modern devops in a fun and easy to understand way. The attendees will come out of this talk with a whole new perspective on what Kubernetes does and how to apply this in their software development practices.
  (Language – English)

• Hanno Jarvet from Jarvet Consulting will give a talk “Introduction to: How to predict and manage towards multiple futures.”
  The future is already here – it’s just not very evenly distributed. (William Gibson) Technology is now an integral part of any organisation’s future. This places new demands on CIOs and CTOs to:
  – constantly increase productivity while reducing costs
  – align the IT organisation and the technology behind the business vision
  – support different stakeholders with their ever increasing needs in different contexts.
  Historically strategies, roadmaps and business plans were used to communicate intent. Now there is a better way to bridge the gap between business and IT, predict the future and to help get everyone on the same page.
  If you understand your value chain and the evolution of technology, a multitude of events can even be predicted and prepared for. I will share practical examples, tools and models that I have used to help organisations make progress in predicting and adapting for the future.
  – Common economic patterns: e.g. why DevOps is the new legacy.
  – Strategic situational awareness: How to predict the actions of your global competition.
  – Applying doctrine.
  – Achieving consensus on technology selection.
  – Choosing contextually appropriate methods (Agile, Waterfall, Lean etc.).
  – Achieving a common vocabulary with all stakeholders. – Managing the current situation towards multiple futures.
