Conversations with testers, developers, and coaches who work in the field.
From Cypress to Playwright
Migrating Cypress to Playwright: Why a team hackathon with 7 tools made the obvious choice the sure thing.
Risk-based testing
50 to 60 percent less end-to-end testing through risk-based testing: how it works and where to start.
Testing web components vs. UI elements
280 UI tests, under three minutes, no backend required: How isolated UI testing with mocked API responses becomes faster and more stable than classic component or E2E testing.
Analyzing and improving requirements
Requirements often have more gaps than expected. DEFOSPAM is an acronym that systematically uncovers definitions, scenarios and ambiguities - and AI could help with just that.
Test description for AI capabilities
Making AI systems testable: How capabilities, quality criteria and structured test descriptions turn abstract standards into concrete testing approaches.
Typical tester? More diverse than you think
Only 6% of the testers surveyed fit the IT stereotype. What the majority bring to the table instead and why this should make HR departments sit up and take notice.
Test design with AI
Many people know test design methods, but hardly anyone uses them. Why this is the case and how AI closes this gap without making you stop thinking.
CI Pipelines
Those who test don't protect themselves, they protect everyone. How a test network works in embedded development and why CMake, Google Test and a self-built automocker are the key.
Mutation Testing
Mutation testing is over 50 years old, but hardly anyone uses it. How mutants help to find test gaps and write better code.
Test design methods
25 to 30 test design techniques exist, but most testers hardly use any of them. Why five of them are enough for 90% of all testing tasks.
Why is code so hard to understand?
Why does your brain just not understand some code? Working memory only processes four chunks at a time, and good code respects this limit.
Test infrastructure at device manufacturers
700.000 lines of code in a combi steamer, 2,000 test cases per night: how test automation really works in device development.
Software Test Leadership
Who is really responsible for quality in a company often remains unclear. The ACT2LEAD model shows what leadership in testing actually looks like.
Intelligent organizations
Why do some teams feel great after shared work - and others wear down? What separates smart organizations from dumb ones.
Review 2024 and trends 2025
AI is becoming the standard tool in testing, accessibility is becoming mandatory and test automation continues to gain momentum. What really matters in 2025.
Trends in testing
AI dominates programming and testing, but lags behind in requirements engineering. Where Scrum really stands today and what that means for software quality.
Testing accessibility with those affected
Accessibility does not work automatically just because components are accessible. What goes wrong when assembling and why manual testing remains.
