Ola Kleiven is a Senior Consultant in Oslo with 14+ years' experience in software testing, test management and test automation, currently helping customers improve product quality at SOCO Norge. He brings deep browser and web-technology expertise from a decade at Opera, where he led cross-platform QA teams and managed compatibility projects during major engine transitions.
