He has also worked as an assessor, trainer, facilitator, and coach in test automation and testing process improvement.
Szilard is very involved in the testing community, and received the Tester of the Year in Finland award in 2024. He runs the Finnish Testing Meetup Group with his friends. He is also active in International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) as the Product Owner of the Quality in DevOps Syllabus,. For many years, Szilard has been working on and supporting conferences like HUSTEF, UCAAT, EuroSTAR.
Ard Kramer is a principal (quality) consultant from the Netherlands, working at OrangeCrest Consulting. He refers to himself as a "Qualisopher", someone who loves truth and wisdom and is also determined to improve humanity and its environment. This reflects his interest in the world around us: he seeks to learn from it and apply those insights to software testing. His ambition is to contribute, as a dedicated Qualisopher, to a wide range of projects, such as exploring the impact of emerging technologies (like AI). He also takes inspiration from unexpected angles, for example, examining what we can learn from sports to enhance software testing practices.
Full Course Outline
Full-day hands-on tutorial · mob programming ·
AI coding agents like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code already write, refactor, and test code at remarkable speed, and teams gain real value from them every day. The next step is bigger: making the agent a full participant in the team's quality engineering, so its speed comes with the confidence to match. Shift-left moved testing earlier in time. An agent compresses code, tests, and decisions into one continuous generative loop — which means quality can now travel inside that loop, with the agent, as it works. That is Shift In.
In small mobs around one machine, teams take a real, running repository — business context and SLIs already defined — from bare to a fully quality-engineered delivery pipeline using the agent at every step. Through short, hands-on exercises we turn business context into the agent's instructions, run AI code review, generate trustworthy unit, API, and system tests, build a CI pipeline, run tests inside the agent's loop, and finish by building a complete feature with quality embedded throughout. We use Claude Code as the reference.
You'll leave with a practical toolkit — instructions files, skills, subagents, hooks, and MCP — a mob-based verification ritual that keeps a human as the quality gate, and a concrete model of Shift In you can apply to your own codebase right after the tutorial.
No prior agent experience required. Comfort with Git and basic Python expected.
