Bas Dijkstra
Are you sure your APIs are secure? An introduction to API security testing

Hey, my name is Bas Dijkstra, and I am an independent test automation consultant and trainer.

I have been active in the test automation field for some 18 years now, and have worked on software testing and automation solutions across a wide range of programming languages, frameworks and technology stacks.

I’ve delivered test automation training to dozens of companies and hundreds of conference attendees in the Netherlands as well as abroad, to excellent reviews.

You can find a complete overview of my professional life on my LinkedIn profile. If you want to get in touch, please use the contact form on this site, or email me at bas@ontestautomation.com.

I’m also the developer of RestAssured.Net, a library that is meant to make writing tests for HTTP APIs in C# a breeze.

I live in Amersfoort, The Netherlands, together with my wife and two sons. When I am not at work, I like to go outside for a long bike ride, or to sit down and play a game of chess or read a good book.

Lena Nyström
Don’t go breaking my code

Lena has been building software since 1999, in roles across development, testing, leadership and management. It is basically all she knows - she won’t be much help when the zombie apocalypse comes.

Lena found her passion in testing a decade later and has been focusing on quality in software since then. Lately she has shifted even further left - to building organizations and people. The testing community is her home and she is especially interested in asking “should we build that” when others focus on “could we build that”. Her core drive is continuous improvement and she strongly believes we all should strive to challenge ourselves, our assumptions and the way things are done.

She is the author and creator of “Would Heu-risk it?”, a MASH (Mentor and Speaker Hub, http://mashprogram.wordpress.com) core member, an avid blogger (testing.pejgan.se), keynote speaker and facilitator.

Samuel Nitsche
Don’t go breaking my code

Samuel Nitsche is a curiosity-driven software developer who programs, learns and collaborates in the software trade since the early 2000s.

His primary interest is in modern database development, automated testing, and code quality, topics he writes regularly about on different platforms (e.g. his blog https://developer-sam.de, Simple-Talk, and several Oracle-related print magazines).

He is an Oracle ACE, a Symposium 42 member, a MASH (Mentor and Speaker Hub, http://mashprogram.wordpress.com) core member, and one of the main contributors and maintainers of utPLSQL (http://utplsql.org).

As a workshop facilitator, speaker, and keynote speaker he loves to share his experience in an entertaining way - gladly collaborating with plush animals and using lightsabers - at meetups and conferences.

Ard Kramer
Roll the Marbles! Not Only Good Architecture Helps Us Test Better!

Ard is a software tester from the Netherlands and works for OrangeCrest. He calls himself a Qualisopher which stands for someone ‘who loves truth and wisdom, and at the same time is decisive to improve man and his environment’. This means he is interested in the world around us, to see what he can learn and subsequently apply in software testing. That is one of the reasons why Ard tells stories in books and at (test) conferences such as EuroStar, Expo:QA, TestWarez, TestingCup, and the Romanian Testing Conference. Besides working in IT he is also active in sports (volleyball) as a board member of the Dutch Volleyball Association

Alex Cusmaru
Roll the Marbles! Not Only Good Architecture Helps us to Test Better!

Alex is a passionate tester with more than 14 years of experience in testing, integrating and validating safety-related railway software and systems. In the past, he was the responsible for the validation of operation and control software and the integration of train control systems. Currently, he leads a team of testers and validators for Siemens Mobility in Braunschweig and is constantly looking for new ways to improve test skills, processes and activities. In his spare time, Alex is also a crowd tester, an American football fan and always looking for a new hoppy IPA to “test”.

Cornelia Efros
Adopt Quality Assistance and Lose Your Job....or?

I am passionate about Quality Assistance activities starting from providing test strategies to verifying that the acceptance criteria is met. I am a good communicator and I actively improve my listening skills to help me work closely with my team as well as to ensure we ship with the highest quality.

I have experience with both manual testing and writing automated tests in Typescript, additionally documenting features and writing user guides. I am also eager to improve my skills by reading books, going to conferences and attending webinars.

Maile Rohiväli
Adopt Quality Assistance and Lose Your Job....or?

I strongly believe that when we work together, we can achieve far greater things. Collaboration sparks better ideas and helps solve more complex problems. That’s why I’m such a passionate team player. For me, a great QA professional isn’t just skilled in various testing techniques; they’re also endlessly curious, persistent, and resourceful. When faced with roadblocks, they don't quit – they find alternative solutions. Whether that means communicating relentlessly (even if some might call it being a bit of a "pain"), trying new methods, or thinking outside the box, I’m always ready to do what’s needed to deliver results.

I also take pride in pushing people to go beyond their limits and reach for the stars. This can mean encouraging them to take courses, attend conferences, explore new ideas, or develop skills that will help them shine even brighter. In fact, I recently helped to organize a QA Summit, bringing together experts, leaders, and team members to exchange insights, explore the latest trends, and sharpen our skills. It was an incredible opportunity to grow and innovate as a community.

Over time, I’ve shifted from Quality Assurance to Quality Assistance because I believe QA shouldn’t be a bottleneck in the development process. Although I don’t write automation myself, I’ve built a team that excels at it, ensuring comprehensive coverage. Quality Assistance has not only streamlined our processes but has significantly raised the overall product quality.

So, maybe I’m not just a QA – I’m more of a leader, guiding my team toward excellence.

Martijn Goossens
Be a better test friend to your team

10.15.20.30 - blir det något 33?

Jag startade min resa inom kvalitetssäkring och test 1994 och har byggt upp en expertis inom ledarskap, förändringsledning, testorganisation, teststrategi och kravhantering. Idag fokuserar jag huvudsakligen på att hjälpa våra kunder att tillämpa AI och utveckla sina verksamheter med stöd av revolutionerande modern teknologi och evolution av arbetssätt. Min bakgrund ger mig en bred förståelse och en unik utgångspunkt för att integrera AI på ett sätt som säkerställer kvalitet och skapar värde för slutanvändare.

Mitt arbete omfattar allt från visionsarbete och identifiera möjligheter till att genomföra praktiska implementationer och utbildningar inom AI och kvalitet. Jag har tidigare arbetat som VD, konsultchef, agil coach, testledare, förändringsledare, linjechef, testautomatiserare, lärare och mentor samt med krav och kravledning.

Oftast ser ni nog mig som föreläsare, lärare eller paneldeltagare, hoppas vi ses på något föredrag eller konferens snart....
