Thought Leadership in Testing: Question Outdated Practices
Testers show thought leadership by questioning outdated practices, breaking up silos and coaching with open questions. Humans still judge look and feel.

Ensemble (Mob) Testing: Test Expertise Grows in the Dev Team
Two years of exploratory ensemble testing in a real project: What the method brings, where it gets stuck and why testing is suddenly fun.
Pekka Klärck: Why Robot Framework Has a Generic Core
Pekka Klärck began Robot Framework as his master's thesis in 2004. Over 80 companies now back its foundation, and its generic core fits mixed stacks.
Error Culture: Clarify What Errors Mean at Project Start
Error culture sounds good on the vision board, but collapses at the first real bug. What really helps before the stress comes.
Developer Experience: Testers Shape All Four DORA Metrics
Developer experience is measured by four DORA metrics, and testers influence each one. An isolated test environment per developer shortens lead time.
Thermal Management Testing: Earlier with HiL and Virtual ECU
Thermal management testing for electric vehicles moves from the road to HiL and a virtual ECU. Faults show up earlier, yet a test run still takes days.
Is AI in Software Testing Making the Tester's Job Obsolete?
AI in software testing is not making testers redundant. The job shifts toward test strategy, critical questioning and early work in refinements.
Testing in 2025: Realism Wins, Accessibility Grows
Testing in 2025 got faster with AI for test cases, scripts and test data, and accessibility became a legal duty. Next up: orchestrating AI agents.
Software Quality: AI Only Accelerates Well-Defined Processes
Software quality depends on a solid test process. AI doesn't fix weak processes, it exposes them faster. Testers also need gut feeling.
Informal Networks: Trust No Process Can Install
Informal networks shape how teams actually work, far more than any org chart does. Here's why trust, not process, drives real collaboration.
Autism in Software Testing: Where the Advantage Is Real
Autism in software testing: any deviation from a learned pattern sets off an alarm. An autistic tester on finding bugs without searching, and its cost.
Software Tester Role: AI Assists, Critical Thinking Stays
The software tester role moved from early automation to model-based testing to AI in 25 years. Learning fast and delivering bad news well count most.
Consumer-Driven Contract Testing: Consumers Define the API
Consumer-driven contract testing with Pact checks what an API sends and what its consumers expect. If a contract breaks, the build fails before release.
Remote Team Leadership: Report Failures Without Blame
Remote team leadership makes the team's work visible to management. Leading remote teams well takes blameless failure reports and email over chat.
Testing Legacy Apps with AI: Visual Selectors Instead of IDs
Testing legacy apps without element IDs works with visual AI selectors. Deutsche Bahn cut mobile checkout regression from two weeks to three hours.
Test Automation Strategy: Start with the Problem
A test automation strategy starts with the problem, not the tool. Map current and target state on the test pyramid; the gap is your scope of work.
Quality Storming: HACCP and Event Storming for Software
Quality Storming combines Event Storming with HACCP from food safety to show where errors creep into development, long before anyone tests.
Performance Testing vs. Load Testing: Not the Same Thing
Performance testing vs. load testing: capacity tests every sprint waste cloud budget. The real question is how a system behaves and what it costs.
