Nordic Testing Days 2026

ISO 25010, not the topic that ignites the fire in our test-hearts, right? Non-functional testing and quality characteristics are often seen as a hassle and don’t get the attention they deserve. So, what can we do to make non-functional testing fun? Let’s do something completely different!How about we make a short film script about a quality characteristic of our choice? Let's go!  Pre-screening: We show you some examples of famous films and what they can teach us about quality characteristics. We also explain what these quality characteristics mean and why they are important.   Take 1: Welcome to Testlywood, film crew! Let’s get acquainted. Create your production company and distribute the roles in your film-crew. We will explain you the various roles, such as director, art director, movie critic and others.   Take 2:  Camera, ready, action! In this round you will use a mix of generative AI & human creativity to create your filmscript and upload it to Github. Present it to the group in a 1-minute pitch. The movie critics from the other teams will provide feedback at the end of this take.  Take 3:  Use the feedback movie critics feedback to finalize your filmscript. Your script is done, splendid!  But the audiences still need to know your movie exists. Design a film poster that really captivates your core message. Submit both your filmscript and the poster as an entry for the ceremonies. Post-production:   We summarize what we learned about the quality characteristics and their role in test automation.


Key takeaways: 

1. Learn about the ISO25010 quality characteristics and their part in software testing
2. Use AI as a partner to brainstorm and create something new
3. Collaborate in a team with diverse roles

API testing is a core part of modern testing and delivery pipelines, yet it is often misunderstood or introduced too late. This session provides a practical introduction to REST API automation using Python, focusing on what to test, how to structure tests, and how API tests fit into a modern testing infrastructure.The workshop starts with a short overview of API testing fundamentals and common use cases. As a practical part, we'll have a hands-on walkthrough where we write REST API tests covering basic CRUD operations. Attendees will work with Python and the Requests library against a real service with well-documented APIs.I will provide a basic test framework, and we will extend it together by adding and improving tests during the session. The workshop requires Python 3.13+ installed and basic familiarity with Python to read and write test code.
