Lena first entered the IT-industry during the last trembling years of the 20th century. She currently works as a Group manager for QA teams but started out as a programmer and that background can be seen a lot in her chosen methods and approaches. She has a passion for making quality a state of mind rather than a role and loves teaching others how to approach a system from a testers perspective. She hates the term "best practice" and could argue for hours about why automation is GREAT but can never replace other types of testing, Lena hates finding "easy" defects, hearing the words "that's not in the requirements" and loves when a team no longer needs her. Outside of work she passionately LOVES everything related to fantasy! Books, movies, anime, art, GAMES! Who needs a dining room when you can fill it with pin ball- and arcade machines? OR A DANCE MACHINE!
