2026 QA Korea Conference Held Online, Sharing Software Quality Management Know-How by Industry

'The 2026 5th QA Korea Conference' was held online on September 5. The event was designed as a venue for sharing practical experience in software quality engineering, and the QA Korea Conference was organized for people working in software quality management and testing to exchange industry case studies and technology changes. This year marked its fifth edition.

In this round, speakers from Microsoft, Hyundai Motor, LG Electronics, Shinsegae I&C, and LG Uplus gave presentations. The topics covered a wide range of areas drawing attention in the software industry, including generative AI, autonomous driving, platform service quality management, and test automation.

The speakers presented based on case studies from actual work processes in testing and quality management. Through this, they shared experience in improving QA work and in quality verification.

The generative AI session addressed the spread of AI technology across service and development environments and changes in quality verification methods. The session introduced ways to inspect quality issues in AI-based services and the process of responding to new technology environments in existing QA work.

In the autonomous driving field, the session highlighted trends in autonomous driving AI technology, related regulations, and the practical challenges involved in building processes for quality assurance. It also shared considerations for securing stable quality in a rapidly changing technology environment, along with field response experience.

Finally, the conference covered test automation and QA process improvements. It addressed ways to improve the efficiency of repetitive testing work, automate test case generation, automate test case management, and improve quality across the development process, with the event characterized as being composed of various topics for practitioners' reference.

This QA Korea Conference was held not as an event limited to a specific technology or industry, but as a forum for sharing quality issues and response experience across diverse service environments. About 500 people participated online in this conference.

Participants reviewed real-world quality management methods and testing cases across various industries. They also examined the role of QA and response directions amid changes in the software development environment.

Through an explanation from an event official, the organizers said that the introduction of AI technology is rapidly advancing the speed and complexity of software development, and that these changes are directly tied to end-user user experience (UX). They added that as development accelerates, the role and importance of software quality management (QA) for preventing defects and maintaining service reliability are expanding.

The organizers said they would continue to provide opportunities to share experience and information among software quality engineering practitioners through the QA Korea Conference. They also said they would continue to offer opportunities to look at industry-specific quality management methods and new technology trends together.

The speaker said they intend to continue creating a forum for exchange so that working engineers can secure practical response insights in order to respond to rapidly changing technology trends.

Coms Co., Ltd., STA Testing Consulting Co., Ltd., and TestRail participated as official sponsors of the '2026 5th QA Korea Conference'.
