Do We Really Need a Test Automation Engineer?

Bas Dijkstra

08:45-09:45 CEST Tuesday 18th October

The role of test automation engineer is a difficult one to play well. To really shine as an automation engineer, you’ll need solid experience and skills both in software testing and in software development. And let’s face it: that isn’t easy. In fact, it’s really hard!
