Workshops on the parts of testing that actually matter.
Pearly Quality is a one-person practice running small-group, live online workshops on software testing — accessibility, AI in testing, test management, and the human side of QA.
Small-group sessions of 10–16 testers, run live online. One topic per session — accessibility, AI, ethics, the human side of QA — taught in enough depth that you can use it on Monday morning.

A weekly podcast on Spotify, longer conversations on YouTube. Free, ad-free, and a fair preview of how the workshops actually run.

What happens in a workshop?
Reserve your seat
Small groups, capped at 10–16. You'll get a confirmation and a short pre-read a week before.
Show up live
A focused session on Zoom. Cameras on for the small-group parts, off for the demos.
Work, don't just watch
Every session has hands-on segments — code, audits, scenarios. You leave with something you've actually done.
Take it back to work
You get the slides, the bibliography, and a private follow-up channel for two weeks after the session.
Before you book.
Who are the Pearly Quality workshops for?
Working software testers and QA leads — from people a couple of years in who want more depth, to seniors and test managers who want a focused half-day on a single topic. Every session says who it is pitched at on its own page, so you can pick the ones that match where you are.
Do I need to be technical or know how to code?
No. The workshops are about testing judgement, not a particular tech stack. Where a session touches code or tooling it is explained from first principles, so you are not left behind for not being a developer.
Are the sessions live, or are they recordings?
Every workshop is live and online — usually a half-day on Zoom, with hands-on segments and a short break. Free webinars are sometimes recorded and posted to the YouTube channel afterwards, but the paid workshops are run live only, because the value is being in the small group rather than watching a video.
How big are the groups?
Deliberately small. Paid workshops are capped at 10 to 16 people so everyone can actually take part; free webinars run larger, up to about 50. The cap is the point — it is a working session, not a broadcast.
What do the workshops cost — are they free?
Both. There is a free live webinar most months, and paid half-day workshops alongside them. Paid seats are priced per session, with an early-bird rate if you book ahead; each workshop page shows the exact price and what a seat includes.
Are the workshops online or in person?
Online by default — live on Zoom, open to testers anywhere a call reaches. The occasional session is run in person in Budapest, and when it is, its page says so clearly.
What language are the sessions taught in?
English. The slides, the live discussion, and the written follow-up are all in English.
How does registration work?
From the workshop page: free webinars take a quick registration, and paid workshops take a secure card payment via Stripe to reserve your seat. You get a confirmation, a calendar invite, and a short pre-read the week before the session.
One monthly note on the craft.
Field notes, a recommended read, and the next workshop on the calendar. Once a month, never more.
