Evolutionary quality
Demanding maintainability early while the market is still missing is wrongly prioritized. The evolution model shows which quality goals count.

Automotive testing
In automotive testing a windshield wiper already counts as a safety-critical system. What that means for test methods and for standards.
Criminals find every loophole
Out of 73 universities audited, they had to abandon one in five because there were too many gaps. What this means for software security.
Continuous Everything - Do we need it?
Shift left sounds good, but does it really make a difference? How six years of data show what Continuous Everything actually changes and what it doesn't.
Domain storytelling - Understanding the user
Throwing specifications over the fence belongs to the past in modern software projects. Domain storytelling unites users and developers.
A view from the outside
Coaching and software testing share far more than most people expect in daily work. Clarifying orders and spotting patterns are real levers.
Team Alignment with OKR
Good team goals don't fail because of the concept, but because they disappear in everyday life. Three to five metrics and a moderator change that.
Implementing ideas despite resistance
Change does not fail because of the idea, it fails because of the process around it. Why skeptics are allies and emotion beats slide decks.
Sustainability
Sustainability in software development has seven dimensions and most know only one. What carbon footprint, use and green features mean.
My mentor in conversation
outsourced in 1978, paid according to test cases and errors found: Why this approach failed back then and which principles still apply today.
Liberating Structures
Meetings where everyone nods and nobody really thinks can be designed differently. Liberating Structures provides the concrete formats.
Model-based testing (MBT)
Model-based testing is considered complex and formal. Boxes, arrows and a flowchart are enough to uncover requirement gaps early on and generate test cases.
How do I survive a cloud migration?
Cloud migration sounds like technology but is largely a question of organization instead. Monoliths, DBAs and silos slow things down most.
Test Intelligence
Finding 80% of errors in 1% of the time: How test impact analysis and test gap analysis are fundamentally changing testing.
A critical look at BDD
BDD looks simple, but it's not. Why Gherkin without real team communication creates more effort than benefit, and how to do it right.
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, and risk analyses usually end up unread in a drawer somewhere. Gamification solves both with concrete formats.
