Bart Van Raemdonck

QA Coach – Axxes, Belgium

I started as a software developer in the IT world, but was quickly frustrated by bugs. This led me to discover the wonderful world of software testing. I soon became passionate about test automation, and was able to combine this passion with my interest in media by working on projects for VRT (Flemish Radio and Television Broadcasting Organisation) and DPG Media (one of the leading media groups in Belgium). I have 10 years of experience in software testing, and I love to share my knowledge and experiences. Besides my work as a QA engineer on projects, I have been a competence coach QA for Axxes for 2 years now, a role where I can do this perfectly.

James Lyndsay

Test Strategist – Workroom Productions, United Kingdom

I’ve been working as an independent test strategist for over 20 years, with a particular focus on tooled-up exploratory testing. I’ve resisted specialising in a particular technology or market, and I’ve tried to change with my industry. My clients include retail and telecommunications, banking and social media, rapidly-evolving internet start-ups, traditional large-scale enterprise, and government bodies. I’ve worked as an innovator (loved it), and as a standardiser (less so). I work as a consultant with an eye for strategy, quality and motivation, and have stepped into roles as manager, mentor, advocate and implementer.

Session Speakers

EuroSTAR 2022 speaker Martin Karsberg

Martin Karsberg

Senior Tester – Infotiv, Sweden

I have worked within the field of software testing for over two decades, from testing IPv6 implementations in embedded software, to helping IT organizations with challenges in test processes. Since 2018 part of my time has been dedicated to research around the topic of verification and validation of Machine Learning functionality. Over the last couple of years I have tried to give back to the software community by lecturing and speaking at conferences, and hold courses in test methodologies at a local polytechnical college. Proud speaker at EuroSTAR 2019 in Prague 🙂

EuroSTAR 2022 speaker Elias Sonnsjö

Elias Sonnsjö

Competence Leader – Invotiv, Sweden

I have been working as a test system developer and engineer for three years, mainly towards virtual testing and verification. My biggest interest is in the field of Machine Learning. It’s the selected focus of my Master’s education and thesis – how to verify the intended functionality of something trained but not coded. In two research projects carried out at Infotiv, I’ve been exploring this, finding argumentative patterns as well as hidden biases and issues concealed in one of today’s “hottest” topics. Sharing is caring, as they say, and I hope to be able to enlighten these issues and discuss them with you.
