Conversations with testers, developers, and coaches who work in the field.
Using open source securely
Anyone who installs open source components needs a bill of materials - because 80 to 95 percent of modern software is in them. What licenses, security vulnerabilities and the Cyber Resilience Act have to do with it.
Results of the 2024 software testing survey
A third of respondents already use AI for coding, but many still lack automation when it comes to regression testing. What the Software Testing Survey 2024 really shows.
Static analysis with AI
Static analysis throws up thousands of findings - AI fixes two thirds of them reliably. What this means for old code bases and where the method clearly reaches its limits.
Retrospectives done right
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.
Swiss Testing Board
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.
Cypress, Playwright or WebdriverIO
Playwright or Cypress for component and end-to-end testing? Which tool has the edge today and when a change is really worthwhile.
Fuzzy Testing
Fuzzing sounds like chaos, but it's a method: How random input systematically reveals security vulnerabilities and why targeted test data is more useful than pure chance.
Synthetic test data
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.
The age of autonomics
Autonomous systems are not only changing technology, but entire job profiles. Why computer science alone is no longer enough.
Legacy modernization
Who modernizes legacy code when there are no experts? RAG-based AI draws knowledge directly from legacy code - and makes subject matter experts replaceable.
HUSTEF 2025
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.
From the test factory to QA coaching
Eight people, 100 applications, a test manual that nobody read: How a QA team ditched the control function and replaced it with coaching.
Nudging for more security
85 percent of cyberattacks start with a human error. How nudging leads users to safe behavior without forcing them.
Nonviolent communication in software testing
Nonviolent communication has four components: Observation, feeling, need, request. What this looks like in everyday testing.
Business-driven test automation
Insurance salespeople test releases themselves - with the right tools and coaching, it works. How a Center of Excellence can do this in three minutes per release.
Implementation as a test oracle
If you calculate target values for 2,500 signals manually, you lose the connection. How a reference implementation as a test oracle solves this.
Learning with simulations
If you really want to understand agile working, you don't need a slide - you need a board, cards and a round of simulation.
