“It was just a tiny change…”
Those were the last words the developer said before chaos erupted.

A bug in the checkout system was fixed. Retesting passed. Everything looked fine. ✅

Hours later:
❌ Payments failed
❌ Orders disappeared
❌ Support tickets flooded in

All because of one small change.

Welcome to Change Related Testing. Even a tiny update can ripple across the system. It’s not just testing the new feature - it’s asking: “What else could break?”

🔹 Testing That Saves Products
Retesting: confirm the bug is fixed
Regression: ensure nothing else broke
Smoke/Sanity: check build stability & affected features
Impact Analysis: see which modules might be affected

🔹 Real-world reminders
Knight Capital (2012): one line → $440M loss
Amazon S3 (2017): minor config → thousands offline
Ariane 5 (1996): number bug → rocket exploded → $370M loss

Lesson: small changes → massive consequences

💬 What’s the smallest change that caused the biggest bug in your project? 👀

Dev: ‘You again?’ 🤦‍♂️

🎯 Gamification is more than just points and badges!
Do you want to make tasks fun and motivating – even those that are boring or routine? 😎

At our meetup, Anastasia Desyatnichenko, QA Engineer, will show you how gamification:
✨ Makes work and learning easier and more meaningful;
⚡️ Helps you stay engaged and confident;
🎲 Turns habits and tasks into a game where winning is all about results.

We’ll look at examples from everyday life and the IT sphere and share practical techniques you can start using right away – both in QA and beyond.

🎁 Bonus for offline attendees: the most active participants will receive gifts from the speaker!

🚨 One Security Bug Can Cost a Company $1 Billion

Security testing is often seen as just another QA task.
But one vulnerability can destroy years of business growth.

Real examples:

• Equifax breach (2017) — 147M personal records exposed.
Total cost: $1.4B.

• T-Mobile breach (2023) — 37M customers affected.
Cost: hundreds of millions in penalties.

The scary part?
Many incidents happen because of OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.

🔓 Broken Access Control (#1 OWASP risk)
Users access data or actions they should never see.

Simple manual checks:
✔️ Modify IDs (user_id, order_id, invoice_id)
✔️ Test horizontal privilege escalation
✔️ Test vertical privilege escalation
✔️ Try protected API endpoints without authorization
✔️ Change HTTP methods (GET → POST → DELETE)

Many critical issues can be discovered with simple manual testing.

Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing women in tech and QA! 🌷
Your curiosity, attention to detail, and passion for quality make our industry stronger every day.

Did you know that some of the first “QA engineers” in tech history were actually women?

🐞 The word debugging became popular thanks to Grace Hopper, whose team once found a real moth causing an issue in an early computer.

🚀 Margaret Hamilton led the team that built and carefully tested the flight software for the Apollo 11 Moon Landing.

💻 Many early programmers working on ENIAC were women who checked calculations and validated results — essentially doing the first forms of software testing.

Women have been building quality in technology from the very beginning.
