Keynote :- Question Yourself
Odd advice isn’t it. Shouldn’t you be confident in yourself? Yes, be confident in yourself, but not always confident in your conclusions.
Richard Feynman, the physicist most widely known for his pivotal role in the space shuttle Challenger disaster, cautions, “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.” Overconfidence in our opinions easily blinds us to reality.
With a few tools to guide our questions, we can see things previously unnoticed. We can intuit things out of our sight. We can adapt more readily to changes or mistakes. And we can conduct ourselves more confidently in the complex systems that surround and include us.
Tarun Sharma
CEO BMC Software India, Pvt Ltd
Keynote : Digital Transformation and Quality
Enterprises are moving from a focus on process automation to entire business models built on and driven by digital technologies.

Keynote : Automate your testing pipeline with Gradle.
Gina Enache
Psychologist, Founder & President at ChoiceRomania. Bucuresti, Romania
Interactive Talk:-Building Inner Trust – there is no agile without confidence
One of the most important attributes of a great leader is to foster and maintain trust within the team. Even by putting forth a riveting vision, a solid strategy, amazing communication skills, if the people from your team don’t trust you, it will be hard to obtain the results you set. Trust has amassive influence on productivity, morale, loyalty, even creativity, one might argue. Therefore, this feature can affect the leader’s impact on the company more than anything else.
While trust within the team can be reached through various ways and actions, the aim of this workshop is to look at inner trust first. By this, we understand admitting that you are an approachable fallible human being, just as anyone else instead of narcissistically believing that you have superpowers. We will mostly focus on building the sort of confidence that even if we fail sometimes, we can pick it up from there and create new ways of succeeding

This talk is aimed at identifying the secrets of such testers who continuously add value to the agile teams sprint after sprint. Just as the agile teams work under ever changing contexts and respond to change in the limited time, testers get their list of heuristics and oracles to prioritize and select the best sample as part of their tests. If the teams are gearing up for effective customer collaboration by giving regular demos, testers are highlighting how their communication and modeling skills can help in making sure that the demos serve their purpose.

Interactive Talk :- Measurement of Software Quality and Benefits of Agile way of working
Software quality measurement quantifies to what extent a software or system rates along the identified dimensions. An aggregated measure of software quality can be computed through a qualitative or a quantitative scoring scheme or a mix of both and then a weighting system which will reflect the priorities. The analysis shows that 20% of the programming errors found at the system level represent up to 80% of production issues, while at the unit-level, even if far more numerous, programming errors identified account for less than 10% of production issues.
