Recently there has been an increase in media attention given to unethical behavior by autonomous IT systems.

As the DevOps trend goes on and transformations are in full-swing I stumbled upon the zero touch trend.

For most of my testing career I never needed to think about Infrastructure. It was simply “there” to make sure the actual test object could be functionally tested.

By now you have undoubtedly heard of the whole Agile trend or working in Scrum teams.

An Internet of Things (IoT) solution is built up from items that together create new functionality. The separate elements form an IoT ecosystem.

As the world around us keeps spinning, every spin brings change, some small, some disruptive, some life changing.

Often when I introduce myself as a SAP test manager, I get the question: why are you a SAP test manager?
