Expert Software Engineer – Test
Having worked as research assistant, presales and professional service consultant, tester and trainer I joined ista in 2011 as Team Manager Software Test. During the agile transformation I changed my role to Expert Software Engineer – Test. I focus on cross-platform e2e tests, use test cases as well as exploratory testing, and automate tests at different levels. I love communities and conferences.
