I am Benjamin Bischoff, a test automation engineer at trivago N.V. in Düsseldorf, Germany, writing and talking about software development, clean code principles and testing.
After many years of watching teams succeed and fail with technology choices, I've learned something interesting: the features rarely determine success.
In this episode of Joe Colantonio's podcast, we talk about Karate, Selenium, the evolution of tools and some tips for framework maintenance.
The recording of my live coding YouTube stream "API Testing mit Karate (API testing with Karate)" is now available (German only)! This was a 75 minute event in collaboration with Never Code Alone.
The recording of my talk "Of plugins & decorators - trivago's e2e test framework in the spotlight" is now available! This is based partly on this blog post highlighting the framework's plugin infrastructure.
I wrote an article for the Ministry of Testing community about common software design patterns and methodologies that can be helpful when dealing with UI automation.

Sometimes, you have to look back to solve a problem. In this post, I will explain how I created a plugin based architecture for our end to end test framework using Java's 20 year old Service Provider Interface.
