Around a month ago our Quality Assurance team attended the EuroSTAR Conference about software testing in Stockholm. 🧪 Curious to read some of their thoughts about and takeaways from it? Don't miss out on our interview with one of our Junior QAs Julia Finucane below 🤩
- Hello there Julia! Who are you and what are you up to at BookBeat? 👋
I started as an intern but now I work as a Junior QA in the App team. So far I’ve been part of testing and delivering lots of new features, for example our ✨new fancy audio player✨, the re-design of the Apple Watch app, badges on books and My Statistics!
- You recently participated in the EuroSTAR conference with the rest of BookBeat’s QA team. First things first, how was it? 🚀
It was exiting!🤩 Listening to experts and other professionals in the industry was both interesting and thought-provoking. Going with the rest of the QA team made the experience even better.
- What were your main takeaways?
AI is a hot topic and the opinions about it go both ways! 😉
I also heard quite a lot of people talking about how testing wasn't really prioritized or valued at their workplaces, which made me grateful to work at a company that truly prioritizes and values testing and other quality assurance work! 💜
- What was the best part about participating in the conference?
The discussions it sparked in our team. We have a list of buzzwords, techniques and topics to explore and discuss further during the autumn that I look forward to. 🍂
Thank you Julia, happy to hear you had a great time! 💜
