At the end of each year, I sit down to look back and take account of the past year in writing. I've made it my own tradition to help myself acknowledge all the things that happened during the year, especially any achievements of sorts. | A Tester's Journey
Finally, there's time and space to close my personal challenge of 2024 by looking back at what happened and what I learned from it. Setting out beginning of the year, I had the following hypothesis.| A Tester's Journey
I started this post right after returning from the Agile Testing Days, yet I've only come around to finish it now. It's been yet again such a great conference with amazing folks, and it just deserves a proper blog post to share and remind my future self what it was like this year. | A Tester's Journey

There are some conferences out there that you hear people speak highly of. NewCrafts is one of them, and I've waited for years for my opportunity to experience it. It finally happened! Thank you| A Tester's Journey
It's been a while since I last wrote down my thoughts about things that happened, things I've done, things that evolved. And a lot had happened since beginning of the year when I announced my personal challenge for 2024. I would have loved to share a lot more frequently about my endeavors in small social media snippets, yet the last months had been not only busy but energy-draining (due to other aspects). There simply wasn't any energy left to share what I'm doing, and I rather spent the ene...| A Tester's Journey
In the last few years, I've taken on several personal challenges. These are things that initially scared me yet clearly helped my personal growth. You could also call each of them my "theme" of the year to focus on deliberately, as my learning partner Toyer Mamoojee framed it. For 2024, I am taking on my sixth one! | A Tester's Journey
All in all, this was quite a tough year. Stabilizing my work situation, picking up more conference speaking again after changing jobs and hence more traveling, restarting my personal challenges, facing lots of family issues, more sickness, the list goes on. A lot more challenges overall, both subtle and obvious, which made it a demanding and exhausting year. I observed myself mostly just pushing things to later, trying to hold on a bit| A Tester's Journey
My personal challenge of the year,| A Tester's Journey
Deliberate practice proved being invaluable in my own career. The last months showed me once again that this applies to the field of security just as well.| A Tester's Journey
It's been the 15th edition of Agile Testing Days and the conference came a| A Tester's Journey
When one of my former managers commented on my blog post on Painless Usable Security, asking about our approach of keeping dependencies up to date, I realized that there's more to the topic and I should write a separate post about it. So here it is!| A Tester's Journey
When I started out my| A Tester's Journey
The first time I heard about security champions programs was from Tanya Janca and the idea stuck with me ever since. If you haven't come across this concept yet, here are a few good resources on it.| A Tester's Journey
Imagine security being painless, easily usable and just the usual way we do things. Imagine this| A Tester's Journey
Input validation is a topic that's been following me around for years. I've came across countless resources speaking about the importance of input validation, or input filtering as it's called at times. What stuck with me is the recommendation to validate any input coming from any source, no matter if we're speaking about third parties, public interfaces we offer ourselves, internal services behind a firewall or accessible only from inside a private cluster. No matter if the input comes via c...| A Tester's Journey
