Join us for the second Ministry of Testing Porto Meetup, hosted by Xelerate.tech in Porto! Following our successful inaugural event, we're excited to bring the QA community together once again for an evening of insightful talks and networking.

Talk 1: Automation in a Distributed Teams Environment

Paulo Cruz will share his expertise on how an automation team can effectively organize and ensure application quality while operating in a distributed ecosystem and not being completely involved in the development process.

Speaker: Paulo Cruz

Talk 2: Quality — The Heart of Software Development

Vitor Mata will explore how every role — Dev, QA, or Product — can contribute to building better software, with fewer bugs and more aligned teams. This session offers real-life examples and actionable tips for anyone who believes that quality starts from the very first step.
