Why Software Testing Is a Waste of Time
Senior Full Stack Software Engineer
François Martin is a senior full stack software engineer at Karakun AG, living in Switzerland. He is an active open source contributor and an active member of the Swiss Testing Board, where he participates in the working group of Advanced and Expert level.
10:00 | Why Software Testing Is a Waste of Time
Testing software takes up a lot of time in the software development process, often the same amount of time if not more than the time required for the development itself. Just like development, testing also requires continued maintenance efforts. This (rightfully so) makes a lot of people in different roles, be it managers, developers or even testers question whether or not that time effort is really justified. With more and more companies deploying every 10 minutes or even less start to wonder: why invest time in testing when you can simply rollback issues in a matter of seconds, in some cases even automatically?
Learn more about common pitfalls, time wasters and what you can do to make your testing strategy more efficient in this talk!

Member of the Austrian Testing Board since 2010 and since 2023 it's President. Worked for 20 Years as a trainer and is a Co-Author of a Book for Agile Testing. .
10:00 | Agile Testing – what is the reality in IT projects in Austria today
Agile, and in particular agile testing, is still a popular advertising term in IT for modern approaches in IT projects. But what has actually arrived in everyday life or how is it really lived? Much has been argued and published about this and the relationship between Agile evangelists and professional testers has often been very tense.
We took a look at the practice in IT projects in Austria (which can certainly also be found in other countries and continents) and found that Agile is no longer perceived as something special, but that there is only good and bad practice in testing remaining. The lecture is simply intended to show the lived practice and not the shiny theories about agile practices.

11:00 | Glossar 4.0 - Von den Anforderungen zur Abnahme einer neuen App
Die neue ISTQB® Glossar App in der Version 4.0 wurde von den Benutzern gut angenommen. Die Besonderheit der Entwicklung ist, dass der Autor in einer Person Produktverantwortlicher der App und Testexperte ist. Er erläutert in diesem Beitrag, was die Ziele der Neuentwicklung des Glossars waren, und wie diese erreicht wurden. Qualitätssicherung begann früh bei der Anforderungsspezifikation, setzte sich fort in der Kollaboration mit Entwicklern, und erreichte einen Höhepunkt in den Abnahmetests des Glossars 4.0. Dabei mangelte es nicht an Herausforderungen: knappes Budget, knappe Verfügbarkeit der ehrenamtlichen Tester, oder Mangel an Spezialisten für wichtige Testarten. Dazu zählten Tests der Gebrauchstauglichkeit, der IT-Sicherheit, oder die Qualitätssicherung der Wartbarkeit. Der Autor gibt Einblicke in seine agilen und teils innovativen Lösungen dieser Herausforderungen.

Introduction on Usability Testing
Test Consultant, Trainer
Linda is an experienced test manager and currently test consultant and trainer at Polteq. She is also one of the authors of the Polteq training course ISTQB® Usability Testing and therefore within Polteq an expert in this topic.
12:00 | Introduction on Usability Testing
In this presentation the increasing focus on Usability in software development will be discussed. Linda will explain what Usability means, it's usefulness and necessity, and what Usability means within software development and lifecycle management. Various aspects of Usability, such as User Experience (UX) and Accessibility will be covered. But of course she also pays attention to which testing techniques and methods are suitable and usable to test the Usability of an application or website.
After the presentation you are updated on questions as:
What is the importance of Usability within today's software development?
How do you give it proper attention within the software development process?
Which usability test techniques, tools and methodologies are there?
What is the added value of usability, what does it deliver your organization?
Dr. Robert Pucher
Software Testing and Usability
Head of the Software Engineering program at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien
Prof. Dr. Robert Pucher is head of the Software Engineering program at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien. He is also president of UXPA-Austria (User Experience Professionals Association – Austria) and chairman of the scientific board of the UXQCC (User Experience Quality Certification Center).
After receiving his doctorate in technical sciences, Robert Pucher mainly developed software in the field of medicine. He is a founding member of ACE GmbH in Vienna, a medium-sized company specialized in individual software development. His special expertise lies in the area of user experience design in interaction with the software development process.
Numerous seminars, lectures and professional publications complete his portfolio.
12:00 | Software Testing and Usabilty
How many times have you used software or apps and asked yourself what on earth were the manufacturers thinking? This thing is useless! In fact, the manufacturers of the software probably put a lot of thought into solving the specific task. Unfortunately, the solutions were never tested for usability. In more than 20 years of professional experience in UX design, I have been confronted with this problem again and again.
This is a phenomenon that is deeply inherent in human beings. Once you have built up a so-called “Mental Model”, it becomes difficult to understand why other people are not able to use the software.
There is a simple method to solve this problem, the Usability Test.
You will learn:
— What is a usability test, what can it do and what it can't do.
— Different types of testing; advantages and disadvantages.
— Differences and similarities with software testing.
— How to plan, execute and evaluate an insightful test with simple tools.
— Integrating usability testing into the software development process.
With a focus on usability, you can increase the quality of your software in the long term, and do so extremely cost-effectively. However, the understanding of usability and user experience must be communicated to the entire SW development team. Typically, this can be done sufficiently in a two-day training course. You can then efficiently perform usability tests yourself or, if necessary, use inexpensive services on the Internet. Very rarely and only for tricky questions, you need external specialists or services like a usability lab.

Artificial intelligence is gaining ground every day and interferes a little more in our lives, whether we are aware of it or not. The recent buzz around chat GPT is a proof of this, AI fascinates and attracts the admiration of the most reluctant. The Hollywood myth of the omniscient AI is not far away. Should we trust these new forms of interface blindly? No, far from it! Because the blind use of AI is not without risks: who is responsible? to whom do the results belong? what about intellectual property or privacy? ...all subjects evoked without taboos in my presentation, as a friendly warning.

15:00 | How to kill your (test) team
Organizations and teams are trying to get more efficient and more effective. Every day, a new hype pops op. From Agile to Lean, Kanban, DevOps, Spotify, Sociocracy 3.0, Management 3.0, Flow, etc. We’re minimizing the overhead, expecting teams to be selforganizing. And sometimes, when we’re lucky, they even succeed.
Most organizations start from a great vision to start transformations, but fail to translate that into effective measures that actually deliver what they are aimed at.
This presentation which transformation activities are doomed to fail and why, but it will – of course – also reveal the initiatives that will result in a better, more efficient team.

Traditional testing approaches are not keeping up with nowadays development velocity and are hard to scale. We believed that test automation would be the solution to this problem. This belief has not been fulfilled. . . or at least it achieved less than was expected.
Test automation tools are used almost everywhere these days, but testing is still too slow and hard to scale. Automation adoption requires strong technical skills that are hard to find and develop. Even within automation, we still do over 70% of activities manually, for example, scripting and maintenance are still manual activities.
Is there a better solution? Could it be Autonomous Testing?
More and more signals coming from the market that support the idea. According to the latest Gartner report (July 2022), Autonomous Testing is the top innovation item on their Hype Cycle for Agile and DevOps 2022. They predict that it will be widely adopted within 2-5 years.
The market has high expectations and is full of promises that Autonomous Testing is the next phase in the evolution of our approach to software testing. Plenty of test automation tools already have some (small) AI-based features. Using my research, I will share with you an overview of these features and where vendors are heading with these solutions.
But it is not only about feature building and vendor selection. We need to adjust our testing strategy. Therefore, I will give you a few tips on how to implement your own autonomous testing strategy and integrate it into your current approach.
I will share what Autonomous Testing is good for, where it’s not a good idea to use, how to combine it with traditional approaches and how to prepare for the future. This is all based on our own experience and research to develop and implement autonomous testing for our customers.

Quality by Design
Inhaber und Geschäftsführer
Als junger Elektroingenieur durfte ich integrierte Schaltungen (ASIC) für die medizinaltechnik entwickeln. Im Gegensatz zur Softwareentwicklung kostet einmal Kompilieren, ASIC herstellen, mehrere Hunderttausend. Das bedeutet, dass im Vorfeld viel getestet werden sollte.
Das war der Beginn meiner Leidenschaft für die Qualitätssicherung.
Über mehrere Stationen (erste eigene Firma, Mitglied der Geschäftsleitung eines Softwaredienstleisters, Erwachsenenbildner) bin ich heute wieder Selbstständig unterwegs und fokusiere mich darauf, Unternehmen bei der Implementierung einer nachhaltigen Softwareentwicklung zu unterstützen.
16:00 | Quality by Design
Agile Entwicklungsmodelle und kurze Entwicklungszyklen in der Softwareentwicklung erlauben, rasch auf das unerwünschte Verhalten einer Software zu reagieren. Diese reaktive Form der Qualitätssicherung benötigt viel Infrastruktur und bindet Ressourcen, die effektiver eingesetzt werden könnten. Quality by Design (QbD) ist ein bewährter Ansatz aus der Pharmaindustrie, um die Qualität eines Produktes durch den Prozess selbst sicherzustellen.
Dieses Referat zeigt auf wie das Konzept QbD in der agilen Softwareentwicklung weit mehr leisten kann als Konzepte wie Build-in-Quality oder Embedded Testing.
Das Konzept QbD ist eine proaktive Form der Qualitätssicherung und erlaubt eine nachhaltige Softwareentwicklung.

17:00 | Accessibility testing
22% of IT users have accessibility issues. If development doesn’t cater for these issues then IT becomes inaccessible for many people. In a world becoming more and more reliant on IT we need to be aware of and catering for everyone. This talk will explain the current world view of accessibility in IT, how testing is key to meeting the user needs and, using a case study, show how the world is changing and it is now more and more important to make systems accessible to all.

Jürgen Beniermann
Zurück in die Zukunft – Testen in der modernen Welt
Member of German Testing Board
Im Jahr 1985 erwarb Jürgen Beniermann seinen ersten Computer und seitdem hat ihn die Faszination für die digitale Welt nicht mehr losgelassen. Was einst als reines Hobby begann, entwickelte sich während seiner Studienzeit an der BUGH Wuppertal zu einer ernsthaften Beschäftigung mit dem Thema und ist nun bereits seit über 30 Jahren sein Beruf.
Während seines beruflichen Werdegangs ist er stets ein Allrounder geblieben, anstatt sich auf ein spezielles Thema zu spezialisieren. Von der Steuerung mit einem Einplatinencomputer bis hin zur Durchführung von Monte-Carlo-Simulationen an Großrechnern, von Assembler bis zu Hochsprachen und von einfachen Webanwendungen bis hin zu sicherheitsrelevanten Systemen – es gibt nur wenige Bereiche, mit denen er bislang nicht in Berührung gekommen ist.
Schon zu seiner Zeit als aktiver Softwareentwickler fesselte ihn das Thema Testen mehr als die eigentliche Programmiertätigkeit. Vor 18 Jahren entschied er sich schließlich vollständig in den Bereich des Softwaretestens zu wechseln. Seitdem hat er einen Schwerpunkt auf dem Training und der Ausbildung von Testern gesetzt. In seiner Rolle als Managing Consultant der Sogeti Deutschland GmbH leitet er seit über einem Jahrzehnt die Trainingsabteilung und hat in dieser Zeit zahlreichen Menschen das umfassende Feld des Testens nähergebracht.
Neben seiner Tätigkeit bei Sogeti ist Jürgen Beniermann auch aktiv im German Testing Board involviert, wo er sein Wissen und seine Erfahrungen mit der Testcommunity teilt und wertvolle Beiträge leistet.
17:00 | Zurück in die Zukunft - Testen in der modernen Welt
In den meisten Testtrainings werden verschiedene bewährte Testverfahren wie Äquivalenzklassen und Grenzwerte gelehrt, welche als essenzielle Werkzeuge für die Qualitätssicherung in der Softwareentwicklung gelten. Meinem Eindruck nach werden diese Verfahren in der Praxis allerdings immer weniger angewendet. Auch durch Umfragen wird dieser Trend bestätigt.
Trotz des stetigen Fortschritts und der Einführung neuer Testmethoden und Technologien ist es meine feste Überzeugung, dass es nach wie vor äußerst sinnvoll ist, sich auf diese altbekannten Verfahren zu verlassen und sie aktiv in unserer täglichen Arbeit anzuwenden.

Mutation testing is considered one of the most powerful software testing techniques, but it is still not very widely used by software development companies. In this presentation, I will discuss mutation testing and its application in software quality engineering. I will discuss its advantages and disadvantages. I will show how the use of mutation testing allows us to directly test the strength of our test cases, and how it can be used to predict the number of remaining defects in the code.

Quo vadis Software/Quality Engineering?
Die Gesellschaft verändert sich entlang der Transformationen und Krisen rasant. Und so muss die Informatik ihren Standort und die anstehenden Aufgaben neu bestimmen: Bereits den konventionellen funktionalen und extra-funktionalen Anforderungen an Software Genüge zu leisten, stellt eine große Herausforderung in Software-Projekten dar. Aber genügt heutzutage auch weiterhin eine Grundorientierung an sozialen, ökonomischen und ökologischen Erfordernissen oder aber sollte es ebenso um Fragen der technologischen und digitalen Souveränität, der Sicherheit oder weitere gehen? Welche Rolle sollten Software Engineers und Tester einnehmen, wenn perspektivisch Code das Rechtssystem und andere zentrale, kritische Systeme einer Gesellschaft bestimmt? Was könnten diese großen Fragen für das Arbeiten in konkreten Software-Projekten bedeuten? In diesem Vortrag werde ich mit Ihnen ausgewählte Beobachtungen und Fragen als Impuls für Ihre Tätigkeit teilen.
