Architectural designs often remain static blueprints, disconnected from the reality of implemented software…
Jeroen has all-round knowledge of ICT through his M.Sc. degree in computer science. He has gained knowledge about structural testing according to the Tmap®-method. In addition to that, he has gained ISTQB Certificates in Software Testing. His analytic skills together with his methodical knowledge of testing software enable him to quickly analyse complex issues and deliver essential contributions to testing projects. He works as a test architect for Polteq. In this role, he performed multiple TPI-assessments over the world. His work is not limited to consulting, but he also works as a test architect in agile and scrum teams. His technical skills allow him to easily work together with developers in testing e.g. websites, API’s and (web) services. As a speaker, Jeroen has frequently contributed to conferences in many countries. Nothing new but Jeroen is an innovator and with all his abilities he introduced something with Michiel that would be a game changer in the IT architecture.
Michiel is a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and started to grow some strong interest in IT and software testing in his career. Currently worked on the redesign of the test automation framework and the implementation of cultural and process changes in the field of quality assurance, with a strong focus on involving developers and stakeholders in the QA process. Extensive experience as a software tester for various clients, specializing in ensuring software quality and improving processes within software quality assurance. Michiel is a very talented test architect within Polteq and with strong innovation skills, Jeroen and Michiel are responsible for conceptualizing and developing innovative propositions for, AI, IT architecture and product development within complex IT landscapes. Michiel will introduce you to something that would be a game changer in the IT architecture.
Architectural designs often remain static blueprints, disconnected from the reality of implemented software. This leads to inconsistencies and silos of knowledge, which in its turn leads to a significant loss in overview and adaptability of systems. By coupling architectural diagrams with live test results, our approach transforms architectural documentation into a living, breathing entity that reflects the system’s actual state. As tests pass or fail, the architectural view is updated to show these test results in the connected parts of the architecture. The talk will explore how this method enhances communication between developers, architects, and quality assurance, providing a consistent view of system quality while fostering continuous improvement.
