Biography
Dragan Spiridonov brings 30 years of IT experience, from computer repair and sysadmin in 1996 to leading QA/QE functions for the past 12 years. After 8 years of building QA/QE from the ground up at Alchemy, he founded Quantum Quality Engineering in October 2025, a Serbian consultancy that bridges classical quality engineering with agentic AI approaches.
A practitioner of context-driven testing, Holistic Testing, and Rapid Software Testing, Dragan created the Agentic QE framework and adapted the PACT Framework for quality engineering contexts. He built three open-source agentic testing platforms and shares production lessons on The Quality Forge blog. As an Agentics Foundation ambassador, he's founding the Serbian chapter. His recent work includes publishing on AI's impact on QA/QE leadership and speaking at international conferences about lessons learned from building testing platforms with agents.
Here are links to several of Dragan's projects:

One story featuring this speaker
Dragan Spiridonov joins the ISTA 2026 line-up, with 60 test agents and a candid bug list
He spent thirty years in IT before deciding testing needed orchestrators rather than testers. His open-source Agentic QE Fleet now ships 60 agents across 11 coding-agent platforms — and its own documentation records where the thing got it wrong.
