Round table: women in test

In this inspiring panel discussion, women from across the Greek testing community came together to share personal experiences, practical insights, and motivational advice for those navigating their careers in tech. The conversation touched on the importance of curiosity, asking questions, and developing a quality-first mindset. The panellists highlighted that testing is not just about technical skills but also about analytical thinking, communication and a willingness to keep learning. They encouraged attendees to embrace opportunities—even if they feel unprepared—and to challenge the notion that you need to be “perfect” to begin.

The discussion also addressed the impact of unconscious bias and stereotypes, particularly those that suggest women are only suited for certain roles within tech. The panellists urged listeners not to let these biases shape their self-perception or limit their ambitions. Instead, they advocated for taking bold steps, learning from failures, and trusting that every experience—no matter how unrelated it seems—can contribute to long-term growth.
