Step into the fantasy kingdom of Softwarica, where AI promises perfection but hidden flaws threaten the realm.

In this Dungeons & Dragons–style simulation game, participants become heroes — Test Leads, Developers, Product Owners, Automation Specialists, and Stakeholders — navigating three thrilling Trials of Testing.

Through roleplay, dice-driven decisions, and collaborative problem-solving, participants will:

– Experience the tension between AI automation and human judgment

– Make strategic choices under limited resources and conflicting priorities

– Face ethical and human-centered challenges in software quality

The session turns abstract testing principles into a hands-on, engaging adventure: each decision affects outcomes, surprises emerge from dice rolls, and reflection is built into the gameplay.

By the end, participants will understand Human-in-the-Loop testing, appreciate the value of collaboration and oversight, and leave inspired to apply these principles in real-world QA environments — all while having fun in a fantasy adventure setting.
