Tech Events at Workday, Dublin

A hands-on evening for QA and test engineers on what AI actually changes in testing, hosted by BrowserStack in Workday's Smithfield office. The format is a short session on AI-powered quality engineering followed by a two-hour hackathon: generate test suites from PRDs, Jira stories and screenshots, build a working automation workflow on the night, and look at cutting test maintenance debt. Doors 18:00, briefing at 19:00, build until roughly 20:45, then networking and snacks. Bring a laptop. Free, registration through Meetup. Why go: most AI-in-testing talks stay at the slideware level. This one makes you build something before you leave, with other test leads and SDETs in the room to compare approaches. Best for QA engineers, test leads and automation engineers.

Dublin's software testing community meets at Workday for talks on test strategy and automation at scale, with the usual strong turnout from QA engineers across the city's larger tech employers.

Python Ireland's May meetup at Workday HQ in Smithfield features two strong technical talks: Priyanka Poornachandran (Principal Data Engineer, healthcare domain) on when to use Polars vs Pandas in real data pipelines, and Helge Wehder (Ericsson, 15+ years in security) on building a comprehensive secure coding reference for Python. 295 RSVPs — Dublin's Python community is showing up.
