Conversations with testers, developers, and coaches who work in the field.

AI is cutting tester jobs while a wave of questionable AI-generated software arrives. What that really means for testing skills and roles.

Living quality as an attitude, not just writing test cases: Why it makes the difference and what 150 podcast episodes teach about it.

From the embassy to software testing: what really helps when making a career change and why certificates alone won't get you a job.

Developer friendliness costs time short term, saves it long term and makes teams happier. REST mocks and test interfaces show how it works.

Risk-based testing works - but only if it's more than a gut feeling. Five levels, one aggregated score, zero extra effort.

Bringing external testers into the agile team - in one week? How this works with contingents, clear communication and a fixed contact person.

Building software without asking users first often solves entirely the wrong problem. What product discovery means and why paper wins here.

Anyone installing open source needs a bill of materials, since it makes up 80 to 95 percent of software. Licenses, gaps and the Cyber Resilience Act.

A third of respondents already use AI for coding, yet regression testing lacks automation. What the 2024 software testing survey shows.

Static analysis throws up thousands of findings and AI fixes two thirds reliably. What that means for old code bases and where it stops.

Why do retrospectives so often produce the same little pieces of paper? Five phases, a design canvas and a crucial error in thinking about the measures.

How did the ISTQB come about and what still applies today? From Bloom taxonomy to AI testing: what really counts when testing needs to be faster.

Playwright, Cypress and WebdriverIO compared on four criteria: why Playwright wins new projects, why WebdriverIO trails, and when switching is not worth it.

Fuzzing sounds like chaos but is a method that reveals security gaps systematically. Targeted test data beats pure randomness in practice.

Anyone who builds test data manually or derives it from production data risks GDPR problems and hardly finds any new bugs. How synthetic generation solves this.

Autonomous systems are not only changing technology, but entire job profiles. Why computer science alone is no longer enough.

Who modernizes legacy code when there are no experts? RAG-based AI draws knowledge directly from legacy code - and makes subject matter experts replaceable.

260 submissions for 36 slots: Why HUSTEF is one of Europe's top-rated software testing conferences and what the anniversary year 2025 has to offer.
