Elizabeth is Quality Lead at Mendix in The Netherlands. She discovers and fills in the gaps in exploratory testing by coordinating an ensemble (mob) testing practice, actively listening, and setting out to prove that when “it should just work” it actually does. She’s the go-to person for thinking critically about what’s being built, creating a common understanding, supporting colleagues outside the prescribed management structure, and writing API tests and English effectively.

She injects what she learns from books, conferences, and meetups into her daily work, spreading her knowledge through the workshops and Agile guild she facilitates. Her goal is to build enough skills in individuals and teams to make herself redundant. She’s currently serving as a co-organizer for the Friends of Good Software Conference (FroGS Conf) and program committee member for Agile Testing Days.

You can find Elizabeth’s big thoughts at elizabethzagroba.com and little thoughts on Twitter @ezagroba.

Jeg jobber som utvikler i Enode (enode.io), hvor jeg nettopp har startet etter å ha jobbet i litt over to år i Bekk. Jeg har alltid vært interessert i bærekraft og likestilling, og etter å ha lest en bok om ubevisste kjønnsfordommer ifjor høst, fikk jeg lyst til å undersøke teamet nærmere. Og særlig i teknologibransjen. Etterhvert dukket det stadig flere spørsmål opp - hvorfor er det egentlig så få kvinnelige utviklere? Hvor mange er det? Hva mener kollegaer om temaet? Kan man gjøre noe med det, eller bare er det sånn?

Jeg har tidligere holdt presentasjon om likestilling på både JavaZone og internt i Bekk (Javazone her: https://2022.javazone.no/#/program/28f33b51-5674-4e77-841c-2530348f00c6). I tillegg til dette har jeg vært aktiv med likestilling og mangfold i Bekk, blant annet i rekrutteringssammenheng.
