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.

● NEW • V3 Journey • AI Sovereignty

The Same Line in Every Room

Three weeks, two countries, a dozen rooms — and one observation that showed up in every single one. ExpoQA Madrid, the first in-person Agentics Foundation gathering in Budapest, six releases pointed at honest and independent learning, and the Fable/Mythos moment that made owning your own AI the work.

● Published • V3 Journey • Team Transfer

The Question That Followed Me Home

One week, six releases, a guest from London, two meetups, three developer conversations that changed how I think about what this work is becoming, and multiple preparations for conference talks.

● Published • V3 Journey • Feedback Loops

The Forest and the Feedback Loop

Two weeks, thirteen releases, one contributor who filed better bugs than most teams write tests, a model that deleted my Docker containers, and the walk that made the rest of it possible.

● Published • V3 Journey • Bandwidth Discipline

When the Load Doubled

Three weeks, two new projects, one public launch, and the week I learned what bandwidth actually costs. Hardware testing on Cognitum, seven fleet releases, the open-sourcing of Nagual-QE, and a sixth line for the talk.

Sentinel: Multi-Agent Testing

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.

PACT-Based Architecture

Proactive, Autonomous, Collaborative, Targeted from the ground up

Explainable Actions

Every agent decision comes with reasoning traces

Human-in-the-Loop

Critical checkpoints, not blind automation
