SEETEST 2026: The 15th Edition in Ljubljana, Slovenia
- 16 Oct 2026
The 15th edition of SEETEST took place on October 6-7, 2026, in Ljubljana, Slovenia, at the Four Points by Sheraton Ljubljana Mons. Set among greenery on the edge of the city, the hotel was a fitting backdrop for one of the region’s most anticipated software testing events. The conference was held in its traditional Hybrid format, both onsite and online, and brought together over 400 participants from 32 countries.
On October 6, SEETEST opened with a strong program of eight tutorials. The morning tutorials included:
The afternoon tutorials featured:
That evening, participants came together for the traditional Social Event at Bistro Švicarija in Tivoli Park. Hidden in the park’s forest, Švicarija is an alpine-style house dating back to 1835, recently renovated and reborn as a creative hub for art and culture. It was the perfect place to network, relax and continue the conversations from the day, while the live band The West Band kept the party going all night.
Day 2 featured two thought-provoking keynote presentations: “Why Software Testing Keeps Solving Problems Nobody Really Has” by Baris Sarialioglu and “The One Where Sustainability Crashed the Sprint Planning” by Almudena Daehin.
The day brought together 30 speakers across 2 keynotes, 24 presentations and 4 industrial slots. The 8 sessions covered AI, Test Automation, TPI, Testing in General and Test Design, organized into 4 parallel tracks. Industrial slots were presented by Visteon Corporation, Endava, EPAM Systems and Quality House.
The presentations of the session speakers were carefully selected by the SEETEST Program Committee, which also had the responsibility of determining the Best Paper Award. This year, the award went to Anastasija Engelhardt for “How to Build a Manual Evaluation Framework for AI RAG Chatbots Without Code Access.” The Best Presentation Award, chosen by the audience through voting in the conference mobile app, went to Gjore Zaharchev for “AI-Assisted Testing in Practice: Separating Real Productivity Gains from Automation Illusions.”
SEETEST 2026 would not have been possible without the invaluable support of its sponsors: Visteon Corporation, Endava and EPAM Systems. The organizers from SEETB and Quality House extend their heartfelt thanks to the sponsors, as well as to all participants, speakers and contributors who made the event a resounding success.
The organizers also announced that the next edition, SEETEST 2027, will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, continuing SEETEST’s tradition of uniting and inspiring the global software testing community. See you there!
