In deze nieuwsbrief weer wat interessante meetups die je online of live kunt volgen. Opvallend: AI speelt inmiddels bij bijna alle meetups een rol. ✨
Zo laat Gil Zilberfeld zien hoe je AI inzet bij het testen van API's. Op 4 november legt Ole Lensmar uit hoe je met hulp van AI je CI/CD pipelines verbetert voor testautomatisering.
November is ook de maand waarin een delegatie van Newspark naar Milaan gaat voor de Testing United conferentie. Voor de thuisblijvers is er in Amsterdam AutomationSTAR. Verwacht dus ook blogs over de conferentie in Milaan op de website als in de volgende nieuwsbrief!
Als laatste in deze nieuwsbrief een AI-vrij blog over test case management, een blog over Playwright agents.
4 nov | How to scale automated testing beyond CI/CD pipelines
"Discover why CI/CD pipelines weren’t built for today’s testing realities. As AI-driven development accelerates release cycles, traditional CI/CD pipelines are buckling under the weight of automated testing, leading to slower feedback, brittle environments, and rising infrastructure costs."
10 - 11 nov | Amsterdam | AutomationSTAR | Test Automation Conference Europe
"Whether you're scaling automation, testing smarter, or building resilient systems - AutomationSTAR delivers the tools, tactics, and community to help you lead with confidence.
From AI-powered testing to sustainable automation practices, this is where the brightest minds shape the future of quality engineering."
11 nov | API Testing with AI
"API testing includes so many things in it - functionality, data, performance, security. We'd like to know as much as we can about our APIs, but we've got so little time.
Can AI help? You bet. It can help in planning, case suggestions, preparations for testing, documenting the tests and help with integration with our favorite tools. Things that took hours now take seconds. API Testing is changing.
We want to take advantage of AI's power, and make sure that our testing is not only productive, but effective. I'll show you how."
24 - 27 nov | Agile Testing Days 2025 | Onsite & Online Conference
"More than 140+ sessions including inspiring keynotes, experience talks, hands-on workshops and full-day tutorials covering the latest agile software testing insights for you."

If It’s Not Written Down, Did You Really Test It?
"In the rush of agile development, I’ve seen many teams skip over what some might call “formal QA practices.” No test plans, no test…"
