Scaling AI in Retail QA and QA Strategy for Banking | Middle East Virtual Meetup
Join this event
About this event
Somewhere right now, a transaction is failing silently. A retail checkout is breaking on one device. A banking app is letting through what it shouldn’t or blocking what it should allow.
The people who catch these things before the world does? That’s you.
The Test Tribe’s Middle East Virtual Meetup, hosted in collaboration with Pcloudy, is built for QA practitioners, engineering leaders, and quality champions operating at the sharp end of high-stakes software across banking, retail, fintech, and beyond.
Event Details
- 28 May 2026
- 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM GST
- Platform: Zoom Webinar (The joining link will be shared closer to the event.)
Session 1
QA Strategy That Protects High Stakes Banking Applications
Speaker: Arpit Jain – QA Leader with 18+ years of experience in banking domain
Why This Session Matters
Banking software doesn't get second chances. A failed transaction isn't just a bug; it's a compliance flag and a lost customer.
Arpit Jain has spent 18 years building quality functions under exactly this kind of pressure. He's not coming to tell you QA matters. He's coming to show you what a strategy looks like when failure genuinely isn't an option.
Session 2 :
Scaling Trust: AI-Powered QA for Retail
Speaker: Somu Suryanarayanan**, Engineering Leader** at CookUnity
Why This session Matters
Retail software gets tested every second by real customers. A broken checkout, failed payment flow, or missed bug quickly turns into lost revenue and lost trust.
This session by Somu Suryanarayanan looks at how one retail engineering organisation went from manual regression cycles and minimal automation to a QA workflow used across nine product teams.
Starting with a single AI Skill generating one test, the team built workflows that now create production-ready tests, run through CI/CD, and help catch issues before customers notice them.
Why show up on the 28th?
- Because your peers will be there. This isn't a webinar you watch alone and forget. The people registering for this are QA leads, heads of testing, and engineering managers who are dealing with the same problems you are.
- Because your voice matters here too. This is a community format, not a broadcast. There's space to ask the question you've been sitting on, share what's been keeping you up, and connect with people who get it.
