Team Lead @ Jungheinrich
Irja Straus leads testing teams for embedded software and electronic components at Jungheinrich Croatia, where the code she cares about ends up inside yellow trucks. She started out as a software tester and business analyst, spent several years on the product side, and came back to quality with a different view of it: quality is decided long before testing starts. Today she works on exploratory testing, automation, and quality engineering strategy, and on getting teams to talk to each other early enough for it to matter. She also founded a consulting company focused on quality engineering.
