Register now for PNSQC Free Workshop Day!

On January 23, PNSQC is hosting a full day of hands-on, instructor-led workshops focused on practical quality skills — from foundational testing practices to emerging AI-driven approaches.  This is not a marketing event.

It is a community learning day, led by experienced practitioners, designed to give you techniques, frameworks, and perspectives you can apply immediately.
As a nonprofit conference, PNSQC’s mission is Enabling Quality Through Community.
This workshop day is part of that mission — lowering barriers to learning, strengthening our local quality community, and helping practitioners stay relevant as the industry evolves.  Register now or read the blog post for a full description of the workshops.

Morning Workshops (8:30 AM – 12:00 PM)

•  AI Orchestration: Dual Stewardship with John Cvetko.  Explore how humans and AI can collaboratively manage quality, risk, and decision-making in modern systems.
•  QA Re-Bootcamp with Heather Wilcox & Bhushan Gupta.  Refresh foundational testing skills and examine modern quality practices through engaging, activity-based learning.

Afternoon Workshops (1:00 PM – 4:30 PM)

•  Integrate MCP into your workflow with Joe Petsche  - We will work with a variety of MCP servers to connect your quality apps and find ways to do your job better and faster. Come with your apps and we will connect in to your scenarios too.
•  Writing Practical Test Plans, Fast and Easy with Wayne Roseberry. This workshop teaches a pragmatic, lightweight approach to writing effective test plans—fast.
