About Us
About software testing and beyond
Tabăra de Testare is a community of testers and other IT professionals who, through informal monthly meetups, share their own knowledge and learn from the professional experiences of fellow members.
From Meetup to Our Own Platform
Tabăra de Testare (TdT) monthly meetups were organized on Meetup for many years. Now, we use our own platform to manage events and the community, offering a more personalized experience.
Nevertheless, we're proud of our history. You can browse our previous meetups archive on our Meetup group:

You might wonder why you should join Tabăra de Testare meetups. One reason is the session content — you can learn new and interesting things, from the most technical topics to soft skills.
A variety of topics have been covered so far, in different formats:
- Presentations and workshops on testing topics
- Gamified learning sessions
- Testing clinics
- Debates and panels
And because we're talking about a community, you'll meet new people who share at least one common passion and offer a different perspective.
The "Content Owner" Concept
At Tabăra we value personal experiences and lessons learned as the foundation for meetup content, which means owning the content you present. That's why we have content owners rather than just "presenters".
A content owner is a tester or someone who works with testers and has identified a set of knowledge or an experience that's useful to the community. With the support of the facilitation team on the logistics side, they lead the meetup in an informal setting, with active participants and ideas filtered critically and constructively.
Most of the time, things continue beyond the meetup itself — over a beer, a tea, or online.
