COVER STORY
In order to develop new ideas and see new opportunities, we sometimes need to adopt new perspectives and look at things from a different angle. In the field of software testing, the ability to change perspectives is in high demand: in order to ensure high-quality digital products, software testers need to put themselves in the user’s position and develop an understanding of their needs and wishes. With the advancing digitization and the increasing complexity of IT products, the professional field of software testing has become an important industry in recent years – and a real future perspective for IT professionals all over the world. Perspectives: This is also the topic of this new issue of the SQ mag.
In this edition, we would like to look at software quality from different angles.
We hope you enjoy this issue of SQ Mag as much as we have enjoyed putting it together with our guest authors – enjoy the read!
