Zühlke – Empowering Ideas Software testing and quality assurance are changing. Topics such as agility, DevOps and automation strongly influence existing roles and areas of responsibility in software quality assurance as well as during the entire software life cycle. Standard testing and QA roles no longer exist in many (project) organisations. Dedicated testing teams are increasingly a thing of the past. What does this mean for people in these roles and with these responsibilities? Is there no room for them anymore? Are their skills and expertise no longer needed? DevOps is often equated with automation. Is DevOps responsible for automating employees out of a job? What is behind the hype and who or what is DevOps actually? Pia Wiedermayer, Head of Quality Assurance, and Romano Roth, Head of DevOps, at Zühlke Switzerland tackle these questions. They talk about the challenges in their projects, examine roles and tasks and reveal new paths for professional and personal development. They also discuss ways to incorporate the wealth of experience of testers into the agile team culture and whether automation is the new testing. Pia Wiedermayer Head of QA I am a passionate quality personality. Quality and first-class service were already a special concern for me in my original professional field, the top hotel industry. I place particular value on a holistic approach in which quality is understood and lived as a principle and not as an annoying evil at the end of the process. pia.wiedermayer@zuehlke.com +41432166685 Romano Roth Head of DevOps & Partner His passion is helping companies bringing people, processes and technology together so that they can deliver continuously value to their customers. romano.roth@zuehlke.com +41 43 216 6651 Let us get in touch with you!
