Real implementation stories from the trenches. Classical QE practices evolved with PACT principles. No hype, no vendor speak—just what actually works in production.
Quality isn't tested in—it's built in. We're moving from testing-as-activity to agents-as-orchestrators, bridging classical QE with agentic intelligence through PACT principles.
Everything here is battle-tested in production. Real implementations, actual failures, honest lessons. No ivory tower theory—just what works (and what doesn't) from someone in the trenches.
Building the Serbian Agentic Foundation and sharing globally. Learning happens together—through meetups, open source, and honest conversations about what quality means in the AI age.
Moving from testing-as-activity to agents-as-orchestrators. How PACT principles bridge classical QE with autonomous testing systems, without the vendor hype.
Real story of building two testing platforms with specialized agent swarms. What worked, what failed spectacularly (54 TypeScript errors from "improvements"), and lessons learned from going solo with AI orchestration.
How the Holistic Testing Model evolves when testing happens across boundaries, in production, and through autonomous agents. From shift-left to orchestrated quality.
Cutting through vendor promises to what actually works. Real data on AI test generation effectiveness, maintenance overhead, and when traditional approaches still win.

};Production-ready agentic testing framework with distributed fleet of 16 specialized AI agents. Built with TypeScript and Python, tested in real-world scenarios, and battle-tested through 5 iterations.
16 specialized agents working in coordinated swarms (4-8 agents in parallel)
Agents analyze and test their own codebase—meta quality engineering
5 iterations, 4 complete rewrites—this is version 5 that works
Open-source agentic testing framework built with Rust and Python. Specialized agents working in concert— functional testing, security injection, performance planning—all with explainability first.
Proactive, Autonomous, Collaborative, Targeted from the ground up
Every agent decision comes with reasoning traces
Critical checkpoints, not blind automation

Building the first Agentic Foundation chapter in Serbia and beyond. Monthly meetups, open discussions, and learning together about quality in the age of intelligent agents.
First meetup: October 28, 2025 at StartIt Center Novi Sad. Join us as we build Serbia's first Agentic QE community.
