Summary

Testers have to lead the team, other testers, product owners and customers towards better quality — and to do it on their own initiative. Yet in an agile team a tester rarely holds any formal authority. This workshop therefore concentrates on communication and on working with other testers, developers and product owners.

The workshop is mostly hands-on. Participants work in groups to draw ideas out of their own situations, supported by our experts and picking up new impulses along the way.

Topics covered

How do you get across what testing is worth and what it is for?
The tester as a go-between, inside the team and among different stakeholders: how to talk about testing, risk and quality in a way each audience can follow.
How do you encourage other team members to take on work that serves quality, so that testing makes the product better?
How do you support and coach other team members in work that serves quality?
How do you contribute visibly to a project's success without necessarily being able to program?
How do you improve the way testers and the rest of the team work together, so that the results get better?

FAQs

Do you also offer in-house training?

Yes — we are happy to plan your own in-house course with you.

Are the costs of a course with you covered by the Federal Employment Agency?

No, BREDEX is not certified for that.

Can I redeem an education voucher with you?

No, BREDEX is not certified for that.

Where do I find your terms and conditions?

After booking you receive a confirmation with a link to the terms and conditions. You can also find them at the very bottom of the BREDEX Academy website.

Can I book an ISTQB exam without having attended your course first?

Yes — you are welcome to sit the ISTQB exam alone.

Do you also offer the courses online?

Yes, as a rule we offer every course online or remote as well. On the BREDEX website you can see whether your course is offered online on the date you want — it is marked as an online course there. If your date is not available online, simply write to us at weiterbildung@bredex.de.

How does an online course work?

Whether it is facilitating a retrospective, a technical course or a design thinking workshop — our experts guide you remotely at the same quality. Despite the physical distance we put great weight on interaction, lively conversation and a variety of methods. You can see what that looks like in this short video.

Does the software for programming courses have to be installed beforehand for an online course?

We offer every one of our programming courses remotely as online training too — at the same quality. All you need is a device with an internet connection and, ideally, a headset and a camera.
The software a programming course normally needs (the development environment, installed language packages such as Java 8 and the like) does not have to be installed by participants beforehand.
During the course you simply open your browser again and follow our link to the virtual machine. That is a virtual computer running on a host system: a sealed-off environment in which several operating systems of an independent guest system can run side by side on one physical machine. Put simply, another (virtual) computer that you operate from your own. Nothing you do there has any effect on your own device. This way you can reach every piece of software and every tool the course needs and start programming right away — without having to take care of anything before or during the course.
