Keynote given at Testing United 2018: "Next Stop: FlixBus! A Tester Exploring Developer Land" Abstract: Welcome to our journey with FlixBus! My name is Lisi and I’m your guide today. Our tour will start way back in history where we will discover testing constructions of ancient times. From this starting point we will move on, and observe how testing at FlixBus evolved over time to a whole-team approach of building quality in. Let’s have a rest at the experiment-driven park of collaboration, and finish our tour at the fun fair of alternative futures. Snackable pieces of knowledge are included throughout our trip and you’re welcome to take notes and photos to keep your memories fresh! Looking forward to some fun time together!
