What You'll Learn

Topics that
matter in 2026.

I Used to Know Who I Was Designing For.

“How AI is changing what designers do – and what that means for everyone who verifies quality.

For twenty years – since screens became the primary surface of digital products – design answered one question: what should this screen look like?

AI just made that question insufficient.

The user is no longer always a person. The deliverable is no longer always a screen. And done is no longer a moment – it’s a quality bar that has to be maintained continuously, long after the Figma file is closed and the ticket is shut.

Who is actually using this? Humans, agents, voice interfaces, embedded systems – each one encounters the same design decision completely differently. Design now has to account for users it cannot interview, observe, or watch struggle.

What am I actually designing? Prompts. Guardrails. Tone of voice rubrics for AI-generated responses. Rules that generate the experience rather than being the experience. None of it lives in Figma. All of it shapes what the user encounters.

What does done even mean? When the AI output changes every session, when the model drifts silently between month one and month three, when quality isn’t a state you ship to but a bar you maintain – the old definition of done stops working. And most teams don’t have a new one yet.

This isn’t a talk about AI tools for designers. It’s a window into how design thinking is changing at the foundation – and what that means for the people whose job it is to verify that what was designed actually works.”

Designing for AI
Return to quality: Radical and practical QA career transformation

The modern QA professional is at a crossroads: trapped in a cycle of high-toil automation and task-oriented testing while the “Great Automation” of AI looms. This session is a call to Return to Quality, a radical shift that reclaims engineering excellence. This session will inspire and instruct QA professionals to reinvent themselves as true quality professionals and not just testers or automators. Attendees will leave with a usable guide to changing their mindset, a rigorous Skill Rubric for self-evaluation, Goal-Setting Templates, and the “Accountability Rituals” necessary to ensure this transformation is not a momentary inspiration, but a permanent professional evolution.

Career
The almost right machine: How to test, trust, and ship software built with AI

“Software development has quietly crossed a line. The hard part is no longer always writing the first version of code. Code, test cases, product flows, documentation, and prototypes can now be generated at remarkable speed. That is progress. But it creates a new quality problem: software that does not look broken. It compiles, runs, passes the demo, clears basic checks, and still may be wrong. Not completely wrong, but almost right. It may misunderstand business intent, miss the real context, ignore a constraint, or fail only when the consequence is high. This session is about quality engineering when software is created at AI speed, and why traditional pass/fail thinking is no longer enough.

What the session will cover

  • Why faster software creation changes the meaning of quality⁠ ⁠
  • Why the biggest risk is not always broken software, but almost-right software
  • ⁠How AI-generated code, tests, flows, and documentation change the review and testing mindset
  • Why QAs, engineers, PMs, and AI teams need to move beyond binary asserts
  • A simple quality lens: Correctness, Context, Constraints, Confidence, and Consequence
  • ⁠How this lens helps teams validate intent, assumptions, and risk before software reaches production”
Testing the AI
Scaling Without Breaking: Rethinking Quality in AI-Driven Startups
Scaling a startup brings real concerns with it – business needs speed to grow, while engineering needs process and automation to sustain that growth. In most cases, teams end up choosing one over the other: either moving fast and building up quality debt, or slowing down with heavy processes that don’t scale. In fast-scaling, AI-driven startups, this becomes even more pronounced. Rapid releases, changing architectures, and growing teams quickly make traditional QA approaches ineffective. This talk is about what it actually takes to build and scale a quality function from scratch in that kind of environment, moving away from QA as a separate phase to quality as a shared responsibility. Based on my experience of setting this up in a startup, I’ll talk through the challenges of getting the basics right early on, and how those practices need to evolve as the system and teams grow – without becoming a bottleneck. AI is definitely changing how we build and test software – faster feedback, better automation, smarter tooling. But the bigger shift I’ve seen is cultural: moving from siloed QA teams to shared ownership, where quality is continuous and part of everyday engineering decisions. The focus of the session is practical, how to balance speed with discipline, where process actually helps (and where it doesn’t), and how to use automation and AI in a way that supports scale instead of getting in the way.
Scaling with AI
Ideas to Impact: 22 Patents, Agentic AI, and the Next Decade of Quality Engineering

Looking forward to sharing a few reflections from my innovation journey across 22 patents in the QE space. Working on patents has been a learning experience filled with curiosity, collaboration, experimentation, and many valuable lessons along the way. More than the outcomes themselves, the journey has reinforced the importance of continuous learning, problem solving, resilience, and being open to new perspectives.
Hoping the session encourages others to see that innovation does not always begin with breakthrough ideas — often, it starts with simply observing and solving day-to-day challenges while keeping up with the best technology has to offer. I’ll cover the use of AI and agentic frameworks to improve SDLC quality, as well as how we evaluate AI algorithms as they become part of the build-test-ship loop.

Ideas to Impact
The Right Time To Quit Testing Is Now, Unless...

During the first wave of Covid, a lot of companies rushed to lay off their employees and finding a possible surge in online businesses – they rehired them or hired more. The fall of jobs was sharp and the rise of hiring was a tall spike. This was due to an uncertainty with life and money. AI though is behaving slightly differently. The fall of jobs is slow but steady. There will come a rise of jobs again but the debatable question is what kind of jobs and who is skilled to do it and what will be valued then?

In testing – how would the jobs transform. Will the world need QA, SDET’s? If yes, what kind? Would that be a skill that most people can acquire? If not what are their options? What kind of low level jobs will be created in the AI aftermath?

To answer these critical questions, Pradeep is bringing his lateral thinking mind, the heart of a tester, an unbiased soul with a vision and the experience of practical on ground realities he is facing as a businessman building a product and services business in the testing era combined to a talk.

For you. Exclusively at TribeQonf 2026.

From AI-Curious to AI-Native: Rewiring the SDLC

Going AI-native isn’t a tooling upgrade — it’s an operating-model shift. Drawing from the trenches of building an AI-first engineering organization, this session unpacks what it actually takes to infuse AI across the SDLC, from requirements and design to coding, testing, deployment, and support. We’ll cover what’s delivering real productivity gains, where the hype collapses on contact with reality, and the harder-than-expected human side: reskilling engineers, redefining roles, dismantling resistance, and rebuilding trust in machine-generated work. The lessons shared come directly from our own transformation journey and the progress we’ve made in re-shaping how our organization builds software.

Rewiring the SDLC
Verify, Then Trust Proportionately: Evaluating AI Systems from a Tester’s Lens

AI systems do not behave like traditional software, which makes life interesting for testers. When the same input can lead to different outputs, and “correct” is sometimes open to debate, how do we decide what deserves our trust?

This talk looks at AI evaluation through a tester’s lens and makes a simple case: trust should not be assumed, it should be earned, and earned in proportion to the evidence.

This is not a deep dive into tools, metrics, or complex frameworks. In 25 minutes, we will focus on the mindset shift that AI asks of testers. What changes when software stops behaving predictably? What stays the same? And why are testers actually well suited for this moment?

If you have ever looked at an AI response and thought, “Well… that seems confident,” this talk is for you.

You will leave with a clearer way to think about evaluating AI systems, asking better questions, and applying your testing instincts in a world where software occasionally sounds very sure of itself.
