Benjamin Bischoff on test automation and software craftsmanship

I am a test automation engineer at trivago N.V. (ex Senior Automation Engineer at Ubisoft Düsseldorf) writing and talking about software development and testing.

Check out my book "Writing API Tests with Karate"!

The recording of my talk "Smoke Tests and Mirrors - the Magic in Test Automation" is now available! This is based on a series of blog posts connecting magic and software principles.

I visited the Romanian Testing Conference (RTC) 2022 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and presented my talk "Smoke Tests and Mirrors - the Magic in Test Automation" there. This is my review of the conference, taking place 16th-17th of June.

In this article of the "Magic principles in test automation" series, I will talk about the concept of time lapse which is the key to powerful misdirection.

Part nine of my close-up magic and software series for YouTube is finally available. This one is called "A Coin Trick About QA".

I co-wrote the article "Change in the World of Testing - New Misconceptions from Old Folklore" together with Maaret Pyhäjärvi.

The recording of my talk "Simplifying your test runs with make" is now available! It is also available as a written blog post here.
