+## What guided the development
+
+### Back in Robocon 2019
+
+- We started working on a core part of our testing library:
+  the session handling for our backend test suite
+- **Session hacking RoboCon 17-01-2019**

+- Important: if you have libraries but you don't care / have time to maintain move under: MarketSquare
+- Fail on status

+
+A radical change was needed...

+So I took the opportunity of

+- Merge
