Hi, I'm Dragan Spiridonov 👋

Agentic Quality Engineer | Bridging Classical QE to the Future

Currently building Quantum Quality Engineering and founding the Serbian Agentic Foundation Chapter - Serbia's first community for agentic engineering practices.

🚀 What I'm Building

The Evolution: Classical → Agentic QE

29 years in IT - Started in 1996 doing computer repair and sysadmin, spent the last 12 years establishing and leading QA/QE functions. Built Alchemy's QA/QE organization from scratch over 8 years. I'm now focused on the practical evolution from traditional testing to agent-orchestrated quality systems. Not replacement - evolution.

🛠️ Current Focus

• ⚡ Quality Forge - Learning and experience sharing initiative bridging classical to agentic QE with production-tested tools and PACT principles
• 🏗️ Quantum QE Consulting - Helping teams transform their quality practices through context-driven, PACT-based approaches
• 🇷🇸 Serbian Agentic Foundation - Building Serbia's first Agentic QE community with StartIt centers
• 🤖 AQE Fleet - Production-ready distributed AI testing framework with 16 specialized agents for comprehensive quality automation
• 📚 Agentic QE Framework - Open-sourcing battle-tested patterns for agent-orchestrated testing
• 🦀 Sentinel - Multi-agent testing orchestration system (Rust/Python)

💡 Core Philosophy

"Quality must be built in, not tested in. Best practices are contextual, not universal."

I practice what I call the Holistic Testing Model - quality across all dimensions:

• Testing in Production - Reality is the ultimate test environment
• Shift-Left AND Shift-Right - Quality everywhere, not just in the testing phase
• Risk-Based Coverage - Test where it matters most
• Whole Team Quality - Everyone owns quality, agents augment but don't replace

🔧 Tech Stack

Classical Foundation (Still Essential)

• TDD - Both London School (mockist) & Chicago School (classicist)
• XP Practices - Pair/ensemble programming, continuous integration
• Exploratory Testing - Session-based test management, heuristic approaches
• Automation - Robot Framework, Playwright, JMeter

Agentic Evolution

• Multi-Agent Systems - Rust for performance, Python for flexibility
• LLM Integration - Prompt engineering for test generation
• Explainable AI - Every agent decision has a traceable reason
• PACT Framework - Proactive, Autonomous, Collaborative, Targeted agents

📊 Real Impact, Not Hype

Classical QE Achievements:
├── 60% faster test generation with AI assistance
├── 85% reduction in test maintenance through smart automation
└── 4x improvement in defect detection with exploratory agents

Agentic QE Goals:
├── 10x improvement in test effectiveness (not just speed)
├── Self-healing test suites that evolve with the product
└── Autonomous quality orchestration with human oversight

🔮 The Future of Quality

"We're not replacing testers with AI. We're evolving from testing-as-activity to agents-as-orchestrators. The future of quality is autonomous but explainable, proactive but controlled, collaborative but targeted. That's PACT."
