Passionate about learning, mindset, thinking, behavior, collaboration, testing and quality. Empowering teams through connection, innovation, facilitation, coaching, enabling, and teaching.

Seasoned Tester with over a decade of experience, father of two and Sunderland fan (please don't hold that against me). Always looking at ways to develop others. Regularly blog about things that I think may be of interest.

I create technology solutions for testing, QE, and QA organizations. I'm an accomplished keynote speaker, international conference speaker, and writer; I'm also a guest lecturer at UT Dallas.

After leading quality at Automattic for 4+ years, I left in October 2024 to pursue new adventures! I live in Calgary, Canada and I enjoy cooking, interior design, travel, Irish dance and bookstores.

She loves that testing is such a diverse, creative and challenging activity and cherishes the opportunities for collaboration with other roles in the software development life cycle that come with it. Karo channels her urge to discuss and share anything testing as a co-organizer of the Ministry of Testing group in Cambridge, as a regular at the Cambridge Exploratory Workshop on Testing and through her blog (http://putzerfisch.wordpress.com). Find and engage with her on Twitter: @karostol.

Reformed Luddite and accidental QA with years of experience in testing e-commerce native and web applications. Keen gardener and charity shop enthusiast.

Been in testing and QA since 1998. Yes, they had computers way back then. No, my first tablet was not made out of stone :) Since then, she has taken some time off for two people shaped development projects of her own. She describes herself as “cat slave” to a very large and opinionated Tuxedo Tom who likes walking across keyboards and spilling tea. Doing talks and writing blogs were not something she was comfortable with so she challenged herself to start doing them in 2018. One of the happiest results of this experiment was making new wonderful friends which is one of the best outcomes of breaking out of any comfort zone.

Senior Technical Leader and Test strategist. Author and creator of "Would Heu-risk it?" (card deck and book), avid blogger, speaker and workshop facilitator.

Elizabeth Zagroba is Quality Lead at Mendix in The Netherlands. She sets out to prove that when “it should just work” it actually does. She's the go-to person for thinking critically about what’s being built, creating a common understanding, and writing API tests and English effectively. Her goal is to build enough skills in individuals and teams to make herself redundant.
