    Best value two days in UK testing; recordings land on the Dojo if you can't travel.

    Webinar · Online · Global · Free · Recorded · Vendor-led

    • AI in QA

    Strong first half on agent limits; politely leave when the product demo starts at minute 45.

    Webinar · Online · Global · Free · Recorded · Vendor-led

    Webinar · Online · Global · Free · Recorded · Vendor-led

    • AI in QA

    Verdict: Skip

    A sales demo in disguise — the 'AI test generation' is a template picker. Read the docs instead.

    Webinar · Online · Global · Free · Recorded

    Workshop · Online · Global · €99

    • Automation frameworks

    Workshop · Online · Europe · €149

    Conference · In person · Potsdam · Europe · €1,900–€2,900 · Recorded

    Webinar · Online · Global · Free · Recorded · Vendor-led

    • Automation frameworks

    16:00–17:00 GMT+0 · 1h

    Webinar · Online · Global · Free · Vendor-led

    Meetup · In person · Dublin · Ireland · Free

    • Automation frameworks
    • Community
    • Playwright

    Component tests are the layer most Playwright teams skip. Two teams show what they moved down from e2e and what broke.

    12:00–13:00 GMT+0 · 1h

    Webinar · Online · Europe · Free · Recorded

    Webinar · Online · Europe · Free · Recorded

    Webinar · Online · Global · Free · Recorded · Vendor-led

    • Playwright
