About this Podcast:
The Quality Beat is a podcast for tech leaders, engineers, and quality minds who care about building better software—from strategy to delivery. In each episode, we tune into real conversations around what drives quality at scale: test efficiency, AI in QA, accessibility, SAP testing, end-to-end engineering, and everything in between. Hosted by Nagarro and joined by voices across the industry, we go deep on what drives modern software quality without losing the heartbeat of what makes teams and tech work together. Because quality isn’t static. It lives, breathes, and keeps evolving.
