Speaker bio: Areti Panou
A mathematician by vocation, a software tester by profession, Areti is now working as a product owner of internal tools that help teams comply with regulations in a meaningful way. From tester, to quality coach and recently to product owner, she likes finding out what the big picture is and how to bring the right people together to improve it.
Areti has spoken at number of conferences including SwanseaCon and TestBash Manchester.

Abstract:
Even today, there exist development teams in which the whole burden of product quality falls on testers’ shoulders. This can cause from delays of deliveries to fights within the team about severe bugs deployed to production. By converting a tester into a quality coach, the quality load can be distributed, helping everybody in the team work better.

Agenda:

6:30-6:45 Pizza and chat
Pizza will be served before the talk and there will be an opportunity to meet other testers in the cork community.
