About the speaker:
Benjamin Bischoff – I spent 15 years as a software developer and trainer before transitioning to a Test Automation Engineer position at trivago N.V. in Germany in in 2016. There, I am now focussed on backend and API testing after spending my first five years as the core developer of the company’s in-house UI test automation framework. My book “Writing API Tests With Karate” came out in 2023 and I maintain multiple open-source test automation related projects. Additionally, I am a regular conference speaker and write about testing, automation, and software craftsmanship topics on my website https://www.softwaretester.blog.
