Why Agile Testing Days is a leading software testing conference?

Agile Testing Days is the leading international software testing conference that changes how you test 🚀

Agile Testing Days (ATD) is an international, practice-driven conference for software testing professionals.
It focuses on real-world learning, meaningful exchange, and sustainable impact — not buzzwords or sales pitches.

Over 4 days, ATD brings together testers, developers, QA leaders, and managers who want to improve how testing actually works in everyday projects.
