Agility is ailing in many companies, but it is not dead. Two rescue service schemes show where the pain is and what can help now.
Podcast Software Testing
170+ episodes with testers, developers, and coaches. Sometimes technical, sometimes uncomfortable. One question runs through all of them: what do you actually need to know, now that machines handle the obvious?

Latest Episodes
Conversations with testers, developers, and coaches who work in the field.
Developing security requirements as a team
Security requirements remain abstract as long as it is clear what the system is supposed to protect. CIA goals, asset analysis and threat modeling as a card game make it tangible.
Why agentic engineering changes everything
If you have bad principles and use AI, you will get worse faster. Why agentic engineering needs more than code generation.
The Blue Angel for software
The Blue Angel for software really exists - and provides measurable values for energy consumption, hardware service life and user autonomy. The costs and benefits of the process.
Security tests for AI systems
AI systems can be tricked into revealing protected data through clever prompts. Where the points of attack lie and what OWASP recommends.
Why AI cannot do cause-and-effect - and QFD helps
Why can't LLMs do cause-and-effect? And what does Quality Function Deployment have to do with it? The answer changes how you prioritize testing.
Practical and safe development with IEC 62443-4-1
Standards do not make secure software by themselves - but 62443-4-1 shows how security really belongs in the process from the very first design step.
From developer to test automation engineer
From developer to test automation engineer: Why clean code principles decide which automation lasts for years and which doesn't.
How Stiftung Warentest tests
How does a product test work before the magazine is published? Independent purchasing, blind testing, multiple verifications - including parallels to software testing.
TACON - A practical conference about test automation
130 participants, a clear focus on test automation and real practical reports: Why TACON in Leipzig attracts more and more people every year.
10 years QS Barcamp Hamburg
60 to 80 participants, no fixed program schedule and yet the most intensive technical discussions of the year: how a barcamp achieves what traditional conferences often cannot.
Effective test reporting without overhead
Test reporting in 5 steps: Goal, position, forecast, data quality and automation. How reporting becomes a real management tool.
Formal methods in software quality
Formal methods sound like an ivory tower, but they provide what testing alone can never do: mathematical proof of correct behavior.
How to create the perfect conference program
527 submissions, just under 50 slots: How a conference program is really created and what makes one submission stand out from the rest.
AI-generated test cases in a regulated environment
AI-generated test cases in the medical technology environment: how a RAG system remains regulatory clean without tool validation.
Soccer analysis meets software testing
600 production runs, one workflow, not a single test for it: How process mining shows what regression testing really needs to cover.
Software engineering of tomorrow
AI-generated code sounds tempting, but who pays the bill? Why software engineering needs more quality control, not less.
Testing and quality assurance for start-ups
Quality in start-ups is not created by processes, but by attitude. Why testers need to be louder than developers.
