About
I'm Anaïs, a quality coach and test automation enthusiast with 13 years of experience in web and backend testing. I like working closely with developers, on a context-driven and sustainable approach to test automation.
Sustainability brought me to Berlin in 2022, where I joined Choco, a startup reducing food waste. Serving enterprise customers means holding a high quality bar, while AI keeps speeding up how we build. So I combine my QA experience with AI: embedding quality-first principles into how we build software, standardising test automation, bringing QA into our CI/CD pipelines, and grounding decisions in a knowledge base built from real product and incident history. I write about what I learn, including the parts that don't work yet.
I've been speaking at testing and quality conferences since 2020. You can watch one of my talks here.
Why nature?
I travel to immerse myself in nature: Brazil, Nepal, Uganda, South Africa, Romania and many places in between. I keep noticing that the healthiest ecosystems aren't the ones with the most resources. They're the ones with the best feedback loops.
The same is true in software quality. So each post borrows from a real place I've visited. All photographs on this site are my own.
