AI Validation, Modern Automation & the Future of QE - Berlin Meetup

**The Test Tribe Berlin Meetup - AI Validation, Modern Automation & the Future of Quality Engineering** AI is changing the way we build and test software. As applications become more intelligent, quality engineers face new challenges—from validating non-deterministic AI outputs to building automation frameworks that are faster, smarter, and easier to maintain. Join The Test Tribe Berlin Meetup for an evening of practical insights, real-world case studies, and community discussions on how AI is reshaping software quality, testing, and automation. **Event Details** * Date: 26 August 2026 * Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM CEST * Venue: [SumUp (Entrance via Lange Straße), Koppenstraße 8, 10243 Berlin, Germany](https://maps.app.goo.gl/wryVXXYRXs2r5uvZ8) **What's on the Agenda?** **Session 1: Visual Regression in Medical Imaging / AI & LLM Validation from a Medical Perspective** **Speaker: Osama Hammad** As AI-powered healthcare applications become more common, ensuring their accuracy, reliability, and compliance is more important than ever. In this session, Osama will explore how Quality Engineers can move beyond traditional pass/fail testing to validate non-deterministic AI systems. Learn practical approaches to building evaluation frameworks, creating AI quality gates, integrating validation into CI/CD pipelines, and navigating regulations such as the EU AI Act. **Session 2: Shift Fast, Test Smart: Full-Stack** **Playwright Automation Powered by Gemini** **Speaker: Smita Mehta** Discover how modern Quality Engineering teams can combine UI and API automation into a unified Playwright framework while leveraging Gemini Code Assist to accelerate development. Through practical examples, Smita will demonstrate how AI can simplify Selenium migrations, speed up test creation, improve debugging, and help teams build faster, more resilient automation. **How This Meetup Solves Your Problem** Whether you're experimenting with AI-powered applications or modernizing your automation strategy, this meetup addresses challenges many engineering teams face today. * Learn practical techniques for evaluating AI applications where traditional testing falls short. * Understand how to validate LLMs in regulated industries like healthcare. * Discover how to build more resilient automation with Playwright and AI-assisted development. * Explore ways to reduce flaky tests, speed up automation, and improve engineering productivity. * Gain insights directly from practitioners solving these challenges in production environments. **Why You Should Show Up** Because Quality Engineering is evolving rapidly, and staying ahead means learning from those building the future today. Meet fellow testers, automation engineers, SDETs, and technology leaders from Berlin's thriving testing community. Exchange ideas, ask questions, expand your professional network, and leave with practical strategies you can immediately apply to your projects. **Become a Speaker at The Test Tribe events:** ​Wish to share your insights with the community at a future event?
