A name that blends technical excellence with Singaporean charm. "Lah" is that friendly, expressive word you'll hear all over Singapore — and it captures the spirit of friendliness and inclusivity we bring to everything we do.
What began in 2018 as the Singapore Appium Meetup has grown into taqelah! — a thriving community for testers and automation enthusiasts passionate about quality engineering. Over the years, we've become a movement dedicated to lifting up Singapore's QA ecosystem.
- 50+ meetups hosted
- 50+ speakers from across the globe
- Insights across test automation, AI testing, and quality culture
From grassroots sessions to corporate collaborations, we've built bridges across Singapore's tech landscape.
- Elevate Singapore's QA and test automation standards through collaboration and learning
- Inspire and nurture young engineers to explore careers in quality engineering
- Build a quality-first culture across tech teams and organizations
- Welcome testers of all backgrounds and experience levels
Our vision is simple — to make Singapore a global hub for Test Automation and Quality Engineering excellence. Join us in uplifting the QA craft, one meetup and one conversation at a time.
