About this event
The Toronto Software Testing Meetup by The Test Tribe is your chance to dive into AI-augmented testing and automation in a real-world, in-person setting. This event showcases practical talks that bridge AI concepts with day-to-day quality engineering, offering actionable insights you can apply to your own testing workflows. The 12th Toronto meetup on 25 March 2026 brings together testers, QA engineers, and QA leaders to explore how AI and automation can elevate quality decisions, testing strategies, and collaboration across teams.
What you’ll gain from attending:
- In-depth sessions on AI-driven QA practices and how AI can synthesize data, uncover patterns, and drive strategic quality improvements.
- Hands-on focus on API testing with Postman, exploring how to leverage automation and AI features to streamline test design, execution, and documentation.
- Real-world examples of connecting test workflows with Jira, CI pipelines, Slack, and monitoring systems to surface actionable insights.
- Networking with a community of like-minded testers (40+ attendees already registered) and opportunities to discuss career growth, tooling, and open challenges in QA.
Format and topics:
- In-person meetup at 125 E Liberty St, Toronto, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM EST, with a welcome networking segment and live talks.
- Session 1: AI as a Force Multiplier for QE Leaders — practical ways to use AI to connect quality data across tools, build custom GPTs for defect and regression analysis, and turn metrics into proactive quality leadership.
- Session 2: API Testing Automation with Postman — fundamentals of API testing, building reusable collections, using variables and data, and injecting AI into Postman tests for smarter checks and automatic documentation via Newman.
- Speakers include industry practitioners who bring a blend of hands-on testing, automation, and leadership experience.
Target audience and vibe:
- Ideal for QA engineers, software testers, automation engineers, and team leads who want to harness AI and automation to improve testing outcomes.
- A collaborative, hands-on vibe—great for sharing practical lessons, networking, and discovering tools that can scale with your team.
- Expect a mix of technical depth and strategic insights, with real-world examples and time for Q&A.
Why this stands out:
- The session lineup focuses on practical AI-enabled quality engineering, not just theory, with concrete takeaways you can implement in Jira, CI, Slack, and monitoring work
