WeAreDevelopers World Congress 2025

The WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin was once again a central meeting point for the international tech community this year. With over 300 speaker sessions, the conference offered a comprehensive platform for professional exchange.

Our Chief Process Officer Florian Fieber was there to support the German Testing Board - and to gain crucial impetus for the future of quality assurance.

The most important trends in software testing

The sessions and discussions focused on three groundbreaking trends that are having a lasting impact on software development and testing in particular.

1. the advance of AI in test automation Artificial intelligence has established itself as a driving factor in test automation. The presentations demonstrated how AI-supported tools intelligently generate test scenarios, prepare test data and accelerate error analyses. For companies, this means a significant increase in efficiency and more precise, adaptive quality assurance.

2. strategies for shift-left testing: quality right from the start The principle of "shift-left" - moving quality assurance to the beginning of the development process - was a key topic. The discussions emphasized that early error detection both reduces costs and shortens the time-to-market. The focus was on practical approaches for integrating quality assurance measures directly into agile development processes.

3. the changing role of the tester: from tester to quality engineer The role of testers is undergoing profound change. In cross-functional teams, they now act as "quality engineers" who not only detect errors, but also actively help shape test strategies and promote cooperation between development and operations (DevOps). Strategic thinking and an understanding of processes are becoming core competencies.

• Holistic consulting: TestSolutions GmbH accompanies the change in test culture and enables teams to meet the new quality assurance requirements.

Parallels with EuroSTAR 2025

These technological advances are also reflected in the discussions at other specialist conferences, but are supplemented by critical aspects. For example, the recent EuroSTAR software testing fair in Edinburgh was held under the motto "AI on Trial".

It was emphasized there that despite the potential of AI, human judgement, critical thinking and ethical responsibility will and must remain the foundation of quality assurance.
