Andrei Ivarouski is my name and I like see things from the angle of “why to do this manually, if it can be automated”. Before doing something, I tend to think of how the work can be optimized or, in other words, “measure seven times, cut once”, as the old Russian saying goes. This caused me to dive into test automation, after earning my Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics and Informatics from the Belarusian State University and further several years of working as a software developer. Since then, test automation has been the key focus of all my professional efforts that helps me see the quality issues as a process optimization and cost-cutting opportunity. ©
