Chatbot Testing: Why Bugs Hide in Prompts and Retrieval
Chatbot testing has to look past the final answer into chunks, embeddings, prompts and fallback logic. How traceability makes these hidden bugs fixable.
Podcast: Software Testing, AI and Quality Insights : Page 3 of 16
Security Requirements: Assets First, Then Requirements
Security requirements stay abstract until a team defines what the system actually protects. CIA goals and threat modeling make it tangible.
AI-Assisted Testing: Testers Keep Control of the Process
AI-assisted testing turns a month of test case and test data work into about a week, and plain-language automation widens who can build tests.
Agentic Engineering: AI Accelerates Existing Principles
Agentic engineering is less about prompts than about the agent environment: your prompt is about 20 of 20,000 tokens. Cleanup agents keep quality up.
How to Build QA Culture in Your Company
Building a QA culture starts with listening: map what quality means to each role, win budget with defect costs and change one thing per quarter.
Blue Angel for Software: Transparency Instead of Top Marks
The Blue Angel for software asks for energy data, support for five-year-old hardware and free security updates. Certification takes about three months.
Business Value of Testing: Translate Risk into Money
The business value of testing shows up in money: regression time, support costs, failed releases. Automating a product about to change can lose money.
Security Testing for AI: Checking Outputs Instead of Just Inputs
AI security testing covers the whole life cycle, from training data to live queries. Why output filters often beat input filters, and what OWASP offers.
Trust in AI Agents Lives in the System Around the Model
AI agents earn trust through checks, guardrails and clear requirements. Testing them tracks trends and mean time between failures, not single runs.
QFD: The Cause-and-Effect Analysis LLMs Can't Deliver
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) links customer benefits to functions and tests, the cause-and-effect analysis LLMs can't do. The result: fewer tests.
Flaky Tests: Why They Destroy Trust in CI Pipelines
Flaky tests don't just slow down CI, they erode trust until engineers stop believing the build. Here's how to fix that.
IEC 62443-4-1: A Toolbox for the Cyber Resilience Act
IEC 62443-4-1 builds security into the process from the first design step and covers much of what the Cyber Resilience Act will require from 2027.
Mobile Security: From Unencrypted Calls to Overlay Attacks
From analog eavesdropping to overlay attacks on banking apps, mobile security has never stopped failing users in new ways.
Becoming a Test Automation Engineer: Treat Tests Like Code
From developer to test automation engineer: Why clean code principles decide which automation lasts for years and which doesn't.
Empowering Women in Software Testing
Women still navigate assumptions in tech that men rarely face. Here is what assertive-but-kind communication actually looks like in a testing team.
How Stiftung Warentest Keeps Its Product Tests Objective
Stiftung Warentest buys products undercover, runs blind tests with reference devices and double-checks every measurement. Testers can borrow a lot.
Playwright: Python vs TypeScript, What Actually Differs
Playwright with Python matches nearly all TypeScript features via PyTest plugins. Visual regression, Electron, and web components stay TypeScript-only.
TACON in Leipzig: Case Studies on Test Automation
TACON in Leipzig gathers around 130 practitioners for two days of test automation case studies from user companies, last held in September 2026.
