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.
Software Analysis
What happens when a third of the adopted code is only available as a black box? How an agile mindset and honesty can save a ticket store project.
Impostor syndrome
Anyone familiar with impostor syndrome knows that rational thinking often doesn't help. Which strategies really lead out of the impostor cycle.
Test design with model-based testing
Model-based testing sounds good but often fails on the gap between model and actual test. A two-phase approach closes exactly that gap.
GenAI in test automation
AI-generated test code compiles cleanly but very often tests the wrong thing entirely. Writing unit tests yourself is the smarter route.
Correctness through formal methods
Testing proves bugs but never freedom from bugs, formal methods can do exactly that. From type systems to fully verified operating kernels.
World Quality Day
What does quality actually mean when no one in the team has an answer? A look back at 20 years of testing and the questions that are now becoming urgent.
Shift Left but Right
Why do testing activities always end in a traffic jam just before go-live? Shift left alone is not enough: How synthetic monitoring reuses the same test case.
Test data and data processes
Production data often only covers 70% of test cases. How to systematically test data processes and get business and IT on the same page.
Measuring quality
More data does not automatically mean better decisions. Which software metrics really help and why context is more important than any number.
Business analyst with an eye for quality
Anyone who writes requirements already thinks like a tester - or should. A look at a data warehouse project shows how this ensures quality at an early stage.
From a tester to a QA lead
From tester to leader: Why the interpersonal challenges exceed anything a leadership course can ever prepare.
Automated security checks
Pen tests at the end of a project always find the same headers, misconfigurations and gaps. Security in the pipeline cuts that to a handful.
Testing embedded systems
Testing embedded software without having the hardware? How unit tests, CI pipelines and MISRA standards interact in practice.
Efficient form tests
255 form variants, 16 federal states and over 100 fields per form stay manageable. Model-based test data and generic UI automation help.
Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
Mechanical engineers and the Cyber Resilience Act: What companies can expect, where the real hurdles lie and why early action brings a concrete cost advantage.
