Good presentation, very good examples. Soothing delivery.

Great presentation! I wasn't sure whether this would be a rehash of things I already knew or if I'd learn some things, but I definitely learned some things. I love typing and static analysis and this is more fuel for me!

Fun presentation on a serious, complex technical topic. Useful approaches for maintaining legacy codebase. Katy was focused, concise, organized, and fun! Slides were good: good color balance, playful use of GIFs and cultural references, and code examples were easy to view.

Paula gave a good technical deep dive into testing with Postman and other supporting tools. The slides were detailed, the embedded videos were a good addition, and she covered a lot of ground. The pace was a little fast, and I was hoping to hear more about BDD and Behat, but overall the talk was good.

Chris is very good at presenting this subject and made me aware of a couple options I was unaware of or hadn't though about before.

Great talk. Overall, nicely timed. I think the existing material could be condensed a bit, and it would be interesting to see more practical / less contrived and more advanced examples of using and maintaining feature flags.

Amazing talk with a lot of insights and great examples of how to improve and test APIs. Well prepared, definitely intermediate/advanced talk that is useful even if you are already testing your code (and you should). Also, great opinions on how to test the code properly and what you should focus on.

This was a great talk that introduced some new methods of API testing and reinforced some known methods too. There was a lot of great information here. Some of the code examples were difficult to see from the back of the room but they were really good examples after I downloaded them.

Very good, she covered a lot of material. Even as an experienced tester I learned a lot!

Speaker used mostly videos to show some hands-on of tools, and some people had specific questions on those, but it was hard to go back and show things more slowly since only videos were used.
Overall, great talk!
