ABOUT THE TALKS

Quality is Communication — the Who-What-Why-Principle in IT Testing
by Frank Hampe (agilophil)

Frank Hampe looks at the crucial interplay between quality and communication in the field of software testing. Starting with the basic principles of WHO, WHAT and WHY, Frank will explain how these components are central to improving test strategies and outcomes. Participants will learn why it is important to know WHO will use the functions to be tested, WHAT needs to be tested with priority and WHY these functions are problem solving for the user. This presentation promises actionable insights into effective communication strategies that promote clarity, efficiency and excellence in software testing processes. Join Frank on his journey to a transformative approach to quality that empowers software teams and leads to more robust, reliable products.
