SQA Days / 39 — 39th International Software Testing Conference

About the event

SQA Days / 39 is the 39th international conference on software testing and quality. It is scheduled for 30–31 October 2026 in Moscow at Holiday Inn Sokolniki, with both in-person and online participation. The conference is for testers, quality engineers, team leaders and professionals developing software quality assurance processes.

The first day is divided into four parallel tracks: automation, management and soft skills, testing diversity, and workshops. Technical sessions include infrastructure as code, load and integration testing, test data and anonymisation. The management track addresses team culture, career development, decision-making and communication.

Other topics include distributed systems, AI agents and automated test generation. The workshop track features practical formats such as reverse engineering legacy systems and building and testing a QA agent. Talks on testing, management and team practice run in parallel, so participants choose between sessions rather than attending every presentation.

Registration on 30 October is scheduled from 09:00, with the opening at 10:00; an evening programme follows at 18:30. Talks begin at 11:00 on the second day. The schedule also includes process analysis and a psychology intensive, and the conference is due to close at 18:00 in the management hall.

In-person sessions take place at Holiday Inn Sokolniki, 24 Rusakovskaya Street, Moscow; part of the programme is available online. Some workshop activities are not streamed, so online participation does not include every in-person activity. The programme brings together engineering practice, testing methods and the organisation of QA teams.
