Two months of Skype calls with 120 people submitting to European Testing Conference 2018 in Amsterdam has now transformed into a program. We're delighted to announce people you get to hear from, and topics you get to learn in the 2018 conference edition! Each one of these have been hand-picked for practical applicability and diversity of topics and experiences in a process of pair-interview.

Thank you for the awesome selection team of 2018: Maaret Pyhäjärvi, Franziska Sauerwein, Julia Duran and Llewellyn Falco.
We have four keynotes for you balancing testing as testers and programmers know it, cultivating cross-learning:
- Gojko Adzic will share on Painless Visual Testing
- Lanette Creamer teaches us on how to Test Like a Cat
- Jessica Kerr gives the programmer perspective with Coding is the easy part - Software Development is Mostly Testing
- Zeger van Hese Power of Doubt - Becoming a Software Sceptic
With practical lessons in mind, we reserve 90 minute sessions for the following hands-on workshops you get to choose to participate two, as we repeat the sessions twice during the conference:
- Lisa Crispin and Abby Bangser teach on Pipelines as Products Path to Production
- Seb Rose and Gaspar Nagy teach on Writing Better BDD Scenarios
- Amber Race teaches on Exploratory Testing of REST APIs
- Vernon Richards teaches on Scripted and Non-Scripted Testing
- Alina Ionescu and Camil Braden teach on Use of Docker Containers
While workshops get your hands into learning, demo talks give you a view into looking someone experienced in doing something you would want to mimic. We wanted to do three of these side by side, but added an organizer bonus talk on something we felt strongly on. Our selection of Demo talks is:
- Alexandra Schladebeck lets you see Exploratory Testing in Action
- Dan Gilkerson shows you how to use Glance in making your GUI test code simpler and cleaner
- Matthew Butt shows how to Unit/Integration Test Things that Seem Hard to Test
- Llewellyn Falco builds a bridge for more complicated test oracles sharing on Property-Based Testing
Each of our normal talks introduces an actionable idea you can take back to your work. Our selection of these is:
- Lynoure Braakman shared on Test Driven Development with Art of Minimal Test
- Lisi Hocke and Toyer Mamoojee share on Finding a Learning Partner in Borderless Test Community
- Desmond Delissen shares on a growth story of Two Rounds of Test Automation Frameworks
- Linda Roy shares on API Testing Heuristics to teach Developers Better Testing
- Pooja Shah introduces Building Alice, a Chat Bot and a Test Team mate
- Amit Wertheimer teaches Structure of Test Automation Beyond just Page-Objects
- Emily Bache shares on Testing on a Microservices Architecture
- Ron Werner gets you into Mobile Crowdsourcing Experience
- Mirjana Kolarov shares on Monitoring in Production
- Maaret Pyhäjärvi teaches How to Test A Text Field
In addition to all this, there's three collaborative sessions where everyone is a speaker. First there's a Speed Meet, where you get to pick up topics of interest from others in fast rotation and make connections already before the first lunch. Later, there is a Lean Coffee which gives you a chance for deep discussions on testing and development topics of interest to the group you're discussing with. Finally, there's an Open Space where literally everyone can be a speaker, and bring out the topics and sessions we did not include in the program or where you want to deepen your understanding.
