# Talks
## 1. Anka Bajurin Stiskalov: Sell Behat tests to your boss or clients
### Description
Whenever I read or talk about writing tests it seems that the biggest problem is of a financial nature. How will I write unit tests, acceptance tests, functional tests or any tests when the budget is small and the deadline is tight. Or why should we care when a client or boss doesn’t care? Behat tests seams to me the most easier to sell and I like to share that opinion with you.
### Speaker short bio
I’m PHP and Symfony developer. Mother of 4 little “angels”. Working for Q for 4 years now. I have started 13 years ago as an Actionscript developer, developing small games, CD presentations and 3D websites in Papervision and Flash. PHP was my backend side for my Actionscript apps so I have easily transferred when the time was to move on. I like Symfony very much but the last year I have spent as a pure PHP developer and team lead on News UK projects.

## 2. Ivan Herak: Strangler pattern basics
### Description
When approaching legacy code, we are often faced with a complicated application which we feel would be best to rewrite completely. However, this task can be time-consuming and with questionable outcome.
Enter Strangler Pattern!
Even though it is often combined with migration to microservices, I will also provide some more down-to-earth examples on how to use this pattern within your application.
### Speaker short bio
PHP/Symfony developer at Netgen. Trying my best to write clean code, with variable success :) Last several years working mostly on legacy applications, bringing them to the new age. Often working as a consultant and code reviewer. When not programming either in a garage working on a motorcycle, or riding it.
