Where Quality is Forged, Not Just Checked

Real implementation stories from the trenches. Classical QE practices evolved with PACT principles. No hype, no vendor speak—just what actually works in production.

From Testing to Orchestration

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.

🔨

Practitioner First

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.

🌍

Community Driven

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.
