About the Theme

Testing is no longer just about finding defects. It is a strategic capability for protecting and creating business value — enabling faster time-to-market, reducing risk, increasing confidence in decisions that matter, and enabling learning. As technology, teams, and delivery models evolve, so must the skills and mindset of everyone involved in quality and testing.

This year’s theme, "Shifting Skills, Shaping Quality Culture" explores how new skills, mindsets, and ways of working are shaping quality in modern embedded systems and testing development and enable value creation across the organization.

Why Attend

Quality Beacon 2026 gives you fresh insights into how modern quality and testing practices are transforming both embedded software and application development.

You will learn from practitioners working with agile, DevOps, and AI‑driven approaches and gain practical techniques, real case stories, and new perspectives you can apply immediately.

The conference highlights how quality is shifting from “testing as a phase” to a shared responsibility that strengthens decision‑making and supports strategic business goals.

Bring Your Team or Colleague

Quality Beacon is designed for testers, developers, product owners, quality engineers, coaches, and leaders — making it an ideal event to attend together as a team.

With hands‑on workshops on Day 1 and inspiring expert talks on Day 2, your team can explore new methods, discuss shared challenges, and bring back aligned insights that strengthen your joint ways of working.

Whether you are experienced or new to the field, the conference supports professional growth across roles.
