ValidTec : Software Testing in the Modern World.

ValidTec is a podcast for people who believe solid, disciplined software testing still matters—even as web, cloud, and AI change how we build software. 
Hosted by Senior QA Engineer Waiki Sin, the show keeps testing at the center and treats technology as the context around it: web apps, APIs, cloud services, and AI-powered features. Each episode asks a simple question: What does this really mean for testing, risk, and quality?
You’ll hear:
1. Foundations of testing – test strategy, smoke vs feature vs regression.
2. Modern stack testing – working across UI, APIs, background jobs, cloud components, and third-party services without losing control of regression.
3. AI from a tester’s view – how to evaluate AI features, handle nondeterministic outputs, and use prompts, guardrails, and metrics to keep behavior “deterministic enough” for real releases.
4. Real-world conversations – testers, managers, CTOs, AI advocates who started in QA, and laid-off engineers sharing their experiences.
