    Episode 6: "on testing economics"

    Maryia, Vitaly, and Anupam sit down with returning guest Mike Jarred — an exceptionally seasoned testing consultant — to unpack Vitaly’s "Economics of Testing" research and how it proposes we talk about quality. The conversation starts with a familiar problem: quality and risk are hard to "make tangible", so testing is too often reduced to outputs and activity. From there, it becomes a practical discussion of how to translate quality work into the language leadership (and other functions) actually uses: the economical language of risks, value and money.

    Episode 5: "On laziness, motivation and management"

    Maryia and Vitaly sit down with Maaret Pyhäjärvi — an exceptionally seasoned tester, manager, consultant and speaker whose work has influenced teams and communities around the world. What begins as a conversation about a persistent managerial myth — the belief that employees are inherently lazy — quickly evolves into a discussion of the forces that shape motivation at work. We also we ventured the broader themes of professional ethics, education in tech, leadership models, and what it really means to create environments where people can thrive. Links: 1.

    Episode 3: "LLMs, RAG, Ragas and Testing"

    In this episode Vitaly, Maryia and Anupam engage with guest Rahul Verma to discuss the evolving landscape of testing in the context of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). The conversation explores the challenges of testing LLMs, the importance of understanding the principles behind these technologies, and the need for testers to contribute to the development of frameworks and benchmarks. The discussion emphasizes the significance of approaching LLMs critically, rather than blindly trusting them or, conversely, rejecting them altogether. Links: 1.

    Episode 2: "Cultural studies in testing"

    In this episode, Vitaly, Anupam and Maryia invited Mesut Durukal — a renowned conference speaker with 20+ years in testing, who has worked across multiple countries and environments — explore how cultural differences shape the way we work, test, and collaborate. From Japanese process-driven approaches to Swedish family-first values, we discuss how history, hierarchy, and cultural habits influence communication, quality standards, and team dynamics in IT and beyond. Mesut also shares insights from his ongoing research into the impact of national cultures on testing practices and invites the community to contribute. Links: 1. BeyondQuality community 2.
