Our Speakers: The People Behind the Code pt.5

Our next speaker is a passionate advocate for quality and a true evangelist for a testing approach that you may have heard of, but perhaps haven't explored to its full potential. Let's introduce Anne Kramer.

Anne works for the French tool vendor Smartesting as a Global Customer Success Manager, where she helps German-speaking customers get the most out of Model-Based Testing with their tool, Yest. She's not just an expert in the field; she's someone who genuinely believes in the power of MBT. You can often find her speaking at conferences or providing professional training. Always on the cutting edge, she has also started teaching on the use of Generative AI in testing.

Is It Time to Revisit Model-Based Testing?

You know how some topics in tech get a lot of hype, and then the buzz seems to fade away? For many, Model-Based Testing falls into that category. It was once seen as the next big thing, but then it got a reputation for being too complex or only for experts. Anne is here to set the record straight with her keynote, "The Truth About Model-Based Testing."

She argues that this reputation is completely undeserved. In her talk, Anne will invite you to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. She'll unpack the myths and missteps that have surrounded MBT and show how it has evolved into a powerful, practical approach for today's agile and AI-driven world. This isn't just about generating test cases from diagrams; it's about seamlessly combining requirements, test design, and automation.

With over 15 years of hands-on experience, Anne brings both realism and genuine enthusiasm to the stage. If you’re curious to learn what MBT is really about and how it can change the way you approach test automation, this is a keynote you won't want to miss.
