15:45-16:30 Thursday 15th June
Shey Crompton
Senior Quality Engineer, Prima Insurance, UK
I have been in the software industry for over 20 years, starting as a games tester, then moving around in project management circles, and finally settling back into testing and test leadership. When not seeking ways to build quality into all aspects of the software development lifecycle, I test my patience by building things out of wood or playing golf.
Hanna Schlander
Quality Catalyst, Devoteam Creative Tech, Sweden
Hanna Schlander is a Quality Catalyst at Devoteam Creative Tech . In her current job she works in the retail industry with a DevOps project built with Microservices. Hanna started her testing career by getting some training in testing at her first job after university, it was love at first sight! Throughout her 11 years in testing, she has worked in multiple fields such as MedTech and Telecom and in a lot of different stages of testing. Being a very curious person Hanna loves the ever-changing world of testing. When she’s not working you’ll most likely find her outside walking with her husband and dog or binge-watching some old tv-series.
Veerle Verhagen
Software Tester, Dutch Railways, Netherlands
Veerle Verhagen is a software tester from the Netherlands, currently working for Dutch Railways. She is particularly interested in agile testing, the human beings behind the software, core skills for IT professionals, and ethics in tech. When she’s not testing, she likes to put her background in education to use by creating and facilitating workshops. Ask her about: early medieval combat sports, her motorbike, her hopes to one day sail to the Channel Islands in a 6,5m sailboat.
