    The Forgotten Power of Test Design Techniques - Rik Marselis

    In this episode, I talk with Rik Marselis about the world of test design techniques. We go into why many testers struggle to apply the methods they learn, despite their potential to enhance quality assurance. Rik shares insights on how to select the right technique for different testing scenarios, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that combines structured methods with experience-based testing. He introduces four key groups of test design techniques and illustrates how templates and real-life examples can make these concepts more applicable. I hope this conversation inspires you to integrate effective testing techniques into your practice, reminding us that quality is ultimately a deliberate choice.

    The Illusion of the Typical Tester and What We Miss - Isabel Evans

    In this episode, I talk with Isabel Evans about breaking stereotypes in the IT and testing industries. We go into the common misconceptions about testers, like the idea that they are mostly quiet, socially awkward individuals. Isabel shares her research findings, revealing that testers come from a wide array of backgrounds, including acting and arts. We discuss how this diversity enriches the field and challenges current hiring practices. The conversation opens up new perspectives on creating more inclusive environments in tech, prompting us to rethink who we see as a good fit for these roles.

    The Evolving Role of Software Testers - Richard Seidl

    In this first episode, I talk about the concept of “Quality as a Mindset”. I strongly believe that quality is critical in all our software development processes. Since the introduction of Agile 25 years ago, we must not only consider quality at the end of the process, but integrate it continuously. In times of AI and DevOps, it is becoming increasingly important to think how we work as testers and quality people. Quality is not just a task for testers, it affects everyone in the team. Let's work together for a better software future.
