Testing is one of the main success factors to enhance the quality of softwares and information systems. After 22 years of involvement in IT projects, as a developer, tester and test manager, I am now operating on large IT projects in order to contribute concretely to their success by ensuring that the test activities are professionally managed and implemented at all levels, by all stake holders.

 

Audit, Consulting and Training are my main activities to improve the overall testing process with a single goal in mind: a better quality for Software and Information systems by meeting the requirements of the Business Owner and keeping final users happy.

 

Everything I do is based on the most useful standards and on my experience in large IT organizations and projects.

 

As a TMMi Lead Assessor, I am in charge of managing TMMi certifications for large and medium size companies in France and anywhere else in the World.

 

Deeply involved in the ISTQB, I have the honor to be leading the working group in charge of the ISTQB Fundation Level certification.

With the rapid rise of AI, some believe that testing will soon be largely automated and that investing time in structured testing practices may no longer be necessary.

 

But is that really true?

 

In this engaging session, we will explore 12 key questions about modern software testing and the role of the ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level certification. Through practical examples and interactive discussions, we will examine why solid testing fundamentals remain critical—even in the age of AI.

 

Join us to discover why the ISTQB Foundation Level certification continues to be a valuable asset for testers, teams, and organizations worldwide.
