Topic: How Docker And Kubernetes Improve Software Quality At ScaleSummary:
In fast-paced development environments, ensuring consistent quality across teams can be challenging, especially with traditional VM-based workflows. This talk explores how Docker and Kubernetes enable reproducible, isolated and consistent testing environments that improve software quality. I will share practical insights on structuring Kubernetes testing clusters, shortening feedback loops and avoiding common pitfalls like misconfigured YAML or poor container monitoring. Attendees will gain an understanding of how these tools can enhance quality, not just streamline deployment.🎙️ Speaker Opportunities at Our Meetups

- QA for Startups: Live Testing & Feedback LabNeeds location
🚨 Calling all Innovate QA Members! 🚨
Join us for a high-energy Whackathon and help local startups uncover bugs, polish UX, and shape their quality story — all in one fun, purposeful event. 🐞💥
Startups need your eyes, instincts, and testing skills — and this is your chance to give back in a truly impactful way.### 🧪 What’s a Whackathon?
Think speed-dating meets bug hunting. Startups set up demo tables, and testers (that’s you!) rotate from table to table, exploring real apps, logging bugs, and giving honest feedback.
You’ll hear short presentations from each startup to understand their product and what kind of feedback they’re looking for — then it’s hands-on time.
From non-technical users to seasoned QA pros — all perspectives are welcome!### 🗓️ Event Details:
