Bug Bash: Why and How to Organize a Whole Company Testing Event
2025-09-11 , Event Space #1

“Haven’t you even tested that?” - is a phrase from the nightmares for any product delivery team. Of course we tested… yet likely not this case.

Wanna avoid situations like that? Discover bugs in time? And, in addition, gain many other benefits like an increased confidence and ownership within the company or better testing awareness?

I got you! There’s a concept that can help improve product quality (and not only) enormously - a bug bash. A timeboxed testing event that is for everyone, no matter their role. I’ve organized many of those and have my share of learnings about it.

In this experience reports and story-fuelled talk, you’ll learn:
What on earth is a bug bash?
Why would you benefit from organizing it?
What does it look like?
… and so much more
