Responsibility for Automated Testing
Period: 05/2015 – 03/2016
Role: Software Developer
Client: Ferber-Software GmbH
Team size: 40
Person days: 30
A strategic project to improve software quality across all product areas. The goal was the company-wide standardisation of testing practices to increase the stability of night builds and detect regressions early. This included both technical adaptations and knowledge transfer within the development department.
My contributions to the project::
- Leading by example
- Company-wide establishment of best practices for test automation
- Agreeing on test coverage targets with testers
- Training sessions on performing unit tests and patterns
- Analysis of failed tests in the night build (e.g. during daylight saving time transitions)
Claim Statement

Role: Software Developer
Client: Ferber-Software GmbH
Team size: 3
Person days: 100
A claim statement is a detailed, tabular listing of all outstanding amounts (claims, interest, fees) that a creditor demands from a debtor. The data is provided by the claim calculation engine. The debtor can request a claim statement at any time, and this must be generated by IKAROS in a legally compliant manner.
My contributions to the project::
- Extension of the claim calculation to capture individual calculation steps
- Implementation of the claim statement
- Outputting the calculation in a Word document
- Agreeing on concrete test cases with domain colleagues
- Creation of automated tests for the claim statement
- Writing tests for defects and subsequently fixing them
