Latest Episodes
Conversations with testers, developers, and coaches who work in the field.
The new ISTQB CTFL 4.0
Two years of work, an international team, a completely revised basis: what has really changed in ISTQB Foundation Level 4.0.
Sociable testing
Why are hundreds of unit testers created, but the software still doesn't run? Because isolated tests alone do not prove a feature - and that is the problem.
Gamification in testing
Manual testing is no fun, risk analyses end up in a drawer. Gamification in testing can solve both - with concrete formats such as Bingo-Bongo or Maturity Poker.
A testing pioneer in conversation
70.000 copies sold, but testing is still considered destructive. Why this image is wrong and what it really means to test software.
C++ Quality by Design
C++ is 45 years old and yet deeply rooted in autonomous driving, medical devices and AI libraries. What the Core Guidelines have to do with it.
When customers are colleagues
How do you test an app that drivers use while driving without distracting them? Test drives, surveys and slow rollouts on 20% of the fleet.
House of Agile Quality
Agile quality needs more than test automation: roles, approach and processes must fit together. The House of Agile Quality shows you where to start.
Shift Left
If you only check quality during testing, you've already lost. How unit tests, IDE plugins and contract testers make errors visible earlier.
Ensemble testing and ensemble programming
Four to six people, one keyboard, real code: Ensemble Testing brings testers and developers together where documentation and meetings fail.
Cypress
Cypress instead of Selenium: Why real browser testing is more stable, how component testing saves the test pyramid and where the tool's limits lie.
Testing audio AI
Testing audio AI without being able to look into the code: Why golden test sets, training data tracking and ChatGPT play a role in this.
Quality from and with Prompt Engineering
AI can generate test cases, but can you rely on their correctness? That remains risky. Which prompt patterns really help and where the limits lie.
Will AI replace the test engineer?
From carpenter to agile engineering coach: How a career change and a book about system testing sparked an entire career in testing.
Automatic test case selection for regression testing
6.5 hours of test runtime, reduced to 10-15 minutes: How test case selection across C++ and Java makes it possible.
Sustainable software development
Sustainability in software projects does not start with deployment, but with the requirements. How this works in concrete terms and where to get the most out of the test process.
Game Testing
500.000 players, a 25-year-old game, weekly patches: how game testing really works and why exploratory testing is indispensable.
Mental health and self-care
Addressing mental health at work, but how? Those who take the first step often get others on board - and change the team culture more than any ritual.
