Talk 1: Reinventing the wheel - Why we created our own reporting solution by Benjamin Bischoff
Teaser: One of my two open source projects related to Cucumber BDD is the reporting library Cluecumber. In this session, Benjamin will talk about the challenges and pitfalls of our former test reporting, how we tackled them and - ultimately - why we decided to create our own solution instead of going with the de facto standard. Also, he will touch on how test reporting helps us in our daily testing why it was a good choice to release this project as open source in its early stages instead of keeping it in-house.
Bio: Benjamin spent the first 15 years of his career as a software developer and trainer. He decided in 2016 after getting fascinated with Selenium to make test automation his main profession. As a Test Automation Engineer within the core QA team at trivago, his focus shifted more to backend and API testing after five years as the core developer of their in-house UI test automation framework. Benjamin is the author of the book "Writing API Tests With Karate" and maintains multiple test related open source. Also, he is a well-known conference speaker and author on testing, automation and software craftsmanship topics. More information can be found on his website www.softwaretester.blog.
