The core idea is how Quality Assurance (QA) teams can shift from being bottlenecks in the development process to becoming integral, proactive participants through Quality Assistance. This approach eliminates the traditional "test at the end" mentality and ensures QA involvement throughout the development cycle. Why is this important? Involving QA early and continuously results in faster testing, better collaboration, fewer back-and-forth clarifications, and a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved. The shift also frees up time for automation and continuous improvement, making teams more efficient and able to deliver higher-quality products. What's your experience in it? At Medic, I experienced firsthand how our old process created frustration and delays, with the QA team feeling isolated and reactive. Since we adopted Quality Assistance in early 2022, our workflow changed drastically. QA now collaborates from the beginning of feature development, helping improve code quality before it's written. We've also had time to enhance test automation, resulting in faster, more reliable releases. Tell us more :) This talk will discuss transitioning from a "Ready for AT" workflow to fully integrating QA into the development process. I'll share the challenges we faced, how we overcame them, and the significant improvements in collaboration, automation, and team morale. I'll also discuss what's next for our team, including refining our testing strategies to be even more efficient and exploring new ways to engage with end users.
