[Video] Test automation solutions you believe in
Ever had a test automation solution you knew could make a difference—if only someone would listen?
In this talk, Linda shared her journey as a Test Manager at a bank, where she had to convince not only teams but the entire organization to adopt the solutions she believed in.
You’ll hear how she:
- Built trust and got buy-in from a manager who didn’t understand test automation
- Managed technical teams without being the most technical person in the room
- Challenged people (and herself) to think bigger—and deliver
It’s not just a story of tools or frameworks. It’s about communication, courage, and commitment. Whether your idea is big or small, you’ll walk away with strategies to lead with conviction.
