Unfortunatley we have to switch one of our keynotes. Patricia Aas is very unhappy that she is not able to give her on Friday morning. Such a change is very uncommon and we want to appologize for it.
We weighted different options and we are very happy that Clare Macrae agreed to give the keynote on Friday instead.

Clare Macrae is an independent consultant, helping teams work sustainably and efficiently to test and refactor legacy and hard-to-test code. She has worked in software development for over 30 years, and in C++ and Qt for 20 years, and is now branching out to other languages. Since 2017, Clare has used her spare time to work remotely with Llewellyn Falco on ApprovalTests to radically simplify testing of legacy code.
She has enjoyed this so much that in 2019 she set up Clare Macrae Consulting Ltd, to focus even more on helping others work with legacy code. Before this, Clare was a Principal Scientific Software Engineer at Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre. She is the original author of their popular C++ and Qt-based 3D crystal structure visualisation program Mercury.
