Supporting Quality Innovation: PractiTest Joins PNSQC 2026 as a Gold Sponsor
Sponsored Content | From our Community Partner: PractiTest
We’re excited to welcome PractiTest as a new Gold Sponsor of PNSQC 2026.
PractiTest is an AI-powered Test Management and QA Intelligence platform that goes beyond test execution to deliver meaningful business insights. While tests run, defects are logged, and dashboards fill up, the most important questions often remain unanswered: Are we ready to release? Are we covered where it matters most? What is our actual level of risk?
PractiTest closes that gap by transforming QA data into clear indicators, actionable insights, and recommended next steps. With real-time visibility into risk, coverage, and release readiness, stakeholders can make informed decisions with confidence. Built on a flexible data model, seamless integrations, SmartFox AI, and powerful QA Intelligence capabilities, PractiTest helps teams always know where they stand and release with confidence.

New PNSQChronicles: The Signal Before the Storm with Kristine O'Connor
What if the warning signs of harm are already visible but we’re not looking for them?
In the latest episode of PNSQChronicles, Kristine O’Connor, Senior Agile Transformation Consultant at Agile Rising and a PNSQC Top Presenter Award winner, joins Michael Larsen to discuss Quality Intelligence and how quality professionals can help identify risks before they become irreversible.
Inspired by her aunt’s experience as the victim of a financial scam, Kristine explores how telemetry, behavioral data, and a deeper understanding of customer needs can help organizations detect emerging threats, prevent harm, and improve outcomes.
This thought-provoking conversation examines the intersection of software quality, customer experience, empathy, risk prevention, and challenges us to think beyond defects toward the real-world impact of our systems.
