Our members
I have been associated with the ASQF for many years through my former position at a service provider in the industry. I have been an active member of the German Testing Board since 2001 – which started out as an ASQF working group in the early years – and helped to successfully launch the Certified Tester examination scheme on the market.
Talentschmiede is a member of the ASQF because we want to convey the importance of software quality management and test management to our graduates and young professionals at an early stage. In addition, the high-quality training opportunities are an important addition to our in-house training courses. The members of the ASQF are a very important network for promoting customer acceptance of the topic of quality management in Germany.
I am a member of ASQF e.V. because software quality and testing are very important aspects of software development and, as a specialist, I always want to be very well updated and informed through ASQF training and networking.
