- [Taming the test strategy dragon](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/09/03/taming-the-test-strategy-dragon/): I want them as dark and to the point as my coffee. black. No sugar.
- [Reading the Room](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/08/31/reading-the-room/): Your two cards are studying and experiencing - play them well.
- [Testing for Disruption🎉](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/08/25/testing-for-disruption%f0%9f%8e%89/): I you look at this and think, "oh that would be costly here" - that is exactly your cue to get the dialog going with your sponsor!
- [More about the testing, less about testers](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/08/06/more-about-the-testing-less-about-testers/): The sooner we step up and leave the "testers" label - the more we can grow the testing.
- [You are on your own now kid](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/07/25/you-are-on-your-own-now-kid/): One of my key challenges of moving into a high-level role has been to change from being guided to guiding myself. Let me share what I have used to tackle this.
- [What is next after an experienced quality role? ](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/07/14/what-is-next-after-an-experienced-quality-role/): But what is next for you, you wonder, as classic test cases work is under yet another pressure to be handed over to machines. Standing still doesn't seem like an option (again). My current reading of the landscape, is that there are still options. That there are still paths for the experienced individual testing/QE person, but it does require you to step up. To raise your head up - and out of your usual comfortable testing realm.
- [So I made up the word: Co-delegate](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/07/12/so-i-made-up-the-word-co-delegate/): The stories about the term co-delegate
- [Keeping track](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/05/13/keeping-track/): Every time I have a non-trivial amount of test cases or a non-trivial amount of time I pull out my trusted sword - the s-curve progress bar.
- [Not what you do, but HOW](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/04/26/not-what-you-do-but-how/): Recently we had a P1, but the biggest issue was how we handled it - not that it happened. Can we test it - yes we can.
- [Return of the Darlings, Pets, Cattle and GUID’s](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/03/29/return-of-the-darlings-pets-cattle-and-guids/): Test cases are no longer an atomic unit of measure (if it ever was).
- [Testing without a System](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/03/24/testing-without-a-system/): we can perform all kinds of testing without having an actual IT system.
- [Trust in Test Planning](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/03/22/trust-in-test-planning/): Test planning might originally be the activity of producing tests. But due to recent tool improvements it's even more about trust.
- [Not where we are – but where we’re going](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/02/16/not-where-we-are-but-where-were-going/): The number of states does not tell us much. Only where we are at this point in time. We need to change and talk about more about where we're going
- [Intentionally Loose Test Planning](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/01/25/intentionally-loose-test-planning/): don't take my loose planning as a lack of planning - it's intentionally loose.
- [Days Since it Was …](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/01/05/days-since-it-was/): Network and DNS. Zero. But generally network and integrations are the key issues in the transition projects I recently do.
- [Understanding the System of Quality](https://www.o2sn.dk/2026/01/01/understanding-the-system-of-quality/): No matter the format of the testing activity and no matter the form of testing. Systems of quality are both implicit and explicit. There are at least four aspects to consider for the System of Quality
- [STEC – Software Testing Essentials Certificate](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/09/08/stec-software-testing-essentials-certificate-by-mot/): An up-to-date training course into the realm of software testing. A welcoming place to begin and build from. Based on true stories and experiences.
- [Lessons in Testing Same-Same, Just Different Projects](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/08/26/lessons-in-testing-same-same-just-different-projects/): Three key lessons for testing enterprise lift & shift programs. It's same-same to classic testing, yet very different too.
- [The next shift-left: Compliance](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/08/18/the-next-shift-left-compliance/): With the increase in IT security regulations, Data Governance laws many companies face the challenge, that they have to be consistently in control of their IT and data. The companies and development teams are facing a new set of requirements- compliance controls.
- [Test Stubs as a Strategic Choice](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/06/22/test-stubs-as-a-strategic-choice/): A test stub is a simulator for an external system that you are not in charge of. It still happens in 2025 that systems are designed with a too big dependency on externally controlled systems. Building stubs enables a better strategic choice for the system owner.
- [127 Requirements are Never Equal](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/06/18/127-requirements-are-never-equal/): The feeling when (TFW) you are handed 127 requirements and need to establish a way to implement and verify them.
- [CSSLP – A Secure Development Practitioner](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/05/27/csslp-a-secure-development-practitioner/): Gaining a ISC2 CSSLP certificate in Secure Development and what to do about it. The art is in understanding the frameworks so much to be able to tailor them to the culture and risk appetite for the company at hand.
- [Testing Corporate CIS18 Security](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/04/23/testing-corporate-cis18-security/): Let's help make the implementations more resilient and functional.
As always.
- [The Big Hallucination](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/04/03/the-big-hallucination/): One of my biggest concerns with LLMs is hallucinations. While you would think a stochastic parrot would repeat best practices, stories are abundant on the LLMs making stuff up. I am equally concerned about all the biases against minorities, the underprivileged and non-US thinking. I am somewhat concerned about how the content is stolen and unknowingly captured (I see you, MS Teams) and about the environmental impact of all the data processing.
- [It’s Time for Business Continuity and Exit Plans](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/02/19/its-time-for-business-continuity-and-exit-plans/): How hard is it for you to pull the plug for your IT services and move elsewhere? It's not a matter of when you need this - but how prepared you want to be.
- [IT Security and Compliance are People Problems](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/02/07/it-security-and-compliance-are-people-problems/): Days Since it was a PEOPLE PROBLEM: 0.
Not DNS. Not solvable by technology. But about biases, behavior and all the other things that make us human.
- [Compliance Coaching for the Delivery Teams](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/01/14/compliance-coaching-for-the-delivery-teams/): I can understand why delivery teams would seem overwhelmed by the volume and think that it's a hindrance in delivering software solutions in a modern way. One way to enable the delivery teams with security and compliance know-how is to have them supported by a Compliance Coach.
- [Problem-solving from the stakeholders’ point of view.](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/01/08/problem-solving-from-the-stakeholders-point-of-view/): Understanding the landscape is critical whether you're facing any new situation. One technique that I consistently use is Wardley Mapping. Let me share with you a concrete example to visualize the landscape.
- [Have Smarter Compliance Interactions](https://www.o2sn.dk/2025/01/03/have-smarter-compliance-interactions/): What matters is everything around the output - not the procedure/guidance/assessment itself. The way you wire your interactions with others is key to your team's success.
- [We all work with Risks, Questions and Requirements](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/12/30/we-all-work-with-risks-questions-and-requirements/): Risks, Questions and Requirements are surely part of the tester's hierarchy of needs. As I am exploring new fields, I am seeing how these needs are also a key part of other competence areas' daily needs.
- [Key learnings from 2024](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/12/20/key-learnings-from-2024/): Key learnings from directing the testing stage on test leadership and resilience testing in 2024.
- [Who Have You Lifted Up Today?](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/12/16/who-have-you-lifted-up-today/): Contrary to what you might think, hoarding power and being involved in everything is not a powerful move. The real influence is in making room for others and lifting others up. Prepare the new generation in your field and enable them to grow. Cast the stage light on others.
- [Test the Emergency Procedures](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/11/13/test-the-emergency-procedures/): Having company procedures for everything is nice. Sure, you can have procedures for when there is a system outage, for developer access to pre-prod environments and perhaps even a plan for if key staff are suddenly off the grid. But do you test the emergency procedures? Or do you wait for the emergencies to happen for real?
- [Sprouting Testing in New Fields](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/11/05/sprouting-testing-in-new-fields/): What is blocking us is the perception that our testing skills cannot be applied outside (software) testing. Of course, they can, and often they are exactly what is required for other parts of the organization to grow.
- [Throw a Disaster Party](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/09/03/throw-a-disaster-party/): For the next sprint have a disaster recovery test. Of course, you have a plan for that! Having a plan for a disaster is nice but remember the old saying that backups are irrelevant if you can’t restore. So do test your recovery plans as well.
- [Leadership as an Individual Contributor](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/08/20/leadership-as-an-individual-contributor/): Individual contributors can convey leadership both in roles and activities without being in the formal organizational management hierarchy. The practical organization for this can take many forms.
- [To go fast – Go slow](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/08/05/to-go-fast-go-slow/): Requirements are not something to be confirmed only once. Very few requirements mention that this should only work during the construction of the system. We need to be better a confirming the requirements consistently and continuously - also the compliance and non-functional requirements. The best way to do this is to go slow and build instrumentation along the way.
- [Aligning with management](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/06/17/aligning-with-management/): Recently, I was discussing test leadership with an experienced practitioner in the agile testing space 👋. The topic of aligning with management came up again. I skipped the topic then. But afterward, I kept pondering the question: How can we get better management buy-in for testing?
- [What If Everything Is Equally Important](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/06/04/what-if-everything-is-equally-important/): The Product Risk Analysis is biased toward functional risks. Let's consider a broader picture of the solution under test.
- [Different – Yet the Same](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/05/27/different-yet-the-same/): There are so many places where testing happens. Everyone plays their part. IT testers don't own the words "test" or "quality" - we are not the only ones who can design and perform a test.
- [Enter Compliance Requirements](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/05/09/enter-compliance-requirements/): We have long fought between functional and non-functional requirements in IT systems development. A new requirement character—compliance—is entering the stage, requiring you to broaden the scope of the testing activities.
- [Testing Is The New Black](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/04/28/testing-is-the-new-black/): Is this the first time you have a compliance testing challenge? It's not my first time.
- [The Information, the Opportunity, and the Mindset](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/04/28/the-information-the-opportunity-and-the-mindset/): There was a standoff in a recent project of mine. It had no gunslingers, hangman’s rope, or a pot of gold. The standoff was about how to work.
- [What If You Are Not Around?](https://www.o2sn.dk/2024/04/15/what-if-you-are-not-around/): Yes, you. What if you’re not around – what will happen with your tasks? Perhaps you feel that you can’t really take time off – because you are in the middle of everything. All teams need some way to handle both planned and unplanned absences. It’s not a matter of if – it’s a matter of when.
- [Wordy Documents Are Not Better](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/10/05/wordy-documents-are-not-better/): Spending your time writing long-form test documents is not an efficient way to communicate, nor will it get you the situation-specific support that you probably need. Don't listen to the stochastic parrot - request information that is relevant to the situation at hand.
- [Both Adapting to Change and Delivering Reliably](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/09/28/both-adapting-to-change-and-delivering-reliably/): The challenge is inherent in any technology organization - when you are delivering consulting services, software solutions, and cloud solutions.
- [Stop Hoarding, Start Growing Others](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/09/11/stop-hoarding-start-growing-others/): The more you learn in your role, the more important it becomes for you to share and build skills in others. If you hoard skills and practices you become a liability, a single point of failure. Rather you should move from “me” to “we” and learn to grow what you master in others. This will also help you grow yourself.
- [New Fields of Testing Activities](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/09/06/new-fields-of-testing-activities/): What do you see as changes to the scope of your testing activities? If you manage testing, especially in a business-to-business context, two primary areas are becoming more important to the business: Compliance, Security, Contracts, and Operational Readiness.
- [More Than a Functional/Non-Functional Split](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/07/28/more-than-a-functional-non-functional-split/): The world is not binary - every time we look closer at a binary split it becomes more fuzzy. The historic idea of testing frameworks to have either functional or non-functional requirements in focus is failing us similarly. There is much more to testing activities than both functional and non-functional requirements.
- [Quality to Whom?](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/07/03/quality-to-whom/): Quality is many things to many different people. Enterprise settings differ from the usual software development shops in that the enterprise corporations have regulations and audits to comply with, and IT features merely support the delivery of something else being produced.
- [Don’t Overthink Test Cases](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/06/22/dont-overthink-test-cases/): While they are representations of testing activities, having a strict regime around their format backfires into bureaucracy and goes against the primary purpose of the testing activity
- [Teaser – A Guidebook to Leading Testing](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/05/10/teaser-a-guidebook-to-leading-testing/): Once upon a time, our protagonist set out on a quest to lead a testing activity
- [Applying Accelerate as a Strategy Legend](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/04/12/applying-accelerate-as-a-strategy-legend/): What I learned from applying the research from the book Accelerate (2018) by Forsgren et.al. as a strategy legend on my Wardley Strategy Map. Spoiler alert – it’s more about people than technology.
- [We Have Been Here All Along](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/04/04/we-have-been-here-all-along/): Neurodiverse people have been here all along - when you look for it.
- [Lessons Learned in Cloud Testing](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/03/09/lessons-learned-in-cloud-testing/): Without creating a bug the team worked together and resolved the issues.
- [A Chocolate Car Calamity](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/02/19/a-chocolate-car-calamity/): If something as simple as ordering a chocolate car can be an absurd people problem, no wonder complex IT projects can be a calamity.
- [Continuous Customer Feedback](https://www.o2sn.dk/2023/01/13/continuous-customer-feedback/): Here are some of my tricks for the non-coding deliverables as a staff-level testing consultant. Continuous customer feedback succeeds when we show that we understand the customer.
- [Old Test Types Need Not Apply, 2022](https://www.o2sn.dk/2022/12/01/old-test-types-need-not-apply/): I would prefer that we can call things what they are and not blindly apply old testing types
- [Communicate Curiosity, 2022](https://www.o2sn.dk/2022/11/21/communicate-curiosity/): A "testing mindset" of inquiry applies when you are a principal tester or even a senior advisor in testing. Asking open questions and approaching a challenge with exploration proves better than command and control. People are people - be mindful of where they are.
- [Writing a Book in 30 Evenings, 2022](https://www.o2sn.dk/2022/10/26/writing-a-book-in-30-evenings/): As mentioned I have written a book. Looking through my notes I have around 30 versions, one for each significant session of working on it. I have been asked to share tips on writing a book, so here you go
- [Taking My Own Medicine, 2022](https://www.o2sn.dk/2022/09/15/taking-my-own-medicine/): Recently I had the chance to apply my own templates to myself and my active project.
- [Where I have Changed 2022](https://www.o2sn.dk/2022/05/04/where-i-have-changed-2022/): The Ministry of Testing Bloggers Club suggested that I write a post based on “In testing, I have changed my mind about ________”. As this blog dates back to 2012 with consistent (220) articles about testing, and my career in the field dates back to 2002 – it seems a 20-year experience should give me a few things. Testing is still not dead – and it’s still about the context (lower-case context, not CDT).
- [Why Do We Fall, Master Bruce?, 2022](https://www.o2sn.dk/2022/04/29/why-do-we-fall-master-bruce/): … So that we can learn to pick ourselves up, Alfred!
- [The Mechanics of Modern Meetings, 2022](https://www.o2sn.dk/2022/04/20/the-mechanics-of-modern-meetings/): It may look like a circus - but that is on purpose. There is a choreography behind it all.
- [A Story About Lifting People Up, 2022](https://www.o2sn.dk/2022/04/10/a-story-about-lifting-people-up/): This article is a parable, it's not a traditional testing post. But as with all parables, this is a story to reflect on.
- [Factor in the Ripple Effects, 2022](https://www.o2sn.dk/2022/04/05/factor-in-the-ripple-effects/): TL;DR: Investing in basic tooling and automation improves your team besides expected metrics.
- [Tester Aided in Two-Digit Million Dollar Deal](https://www.o2sn.dk/2022/01/28/tester-aided-in-two-digit-million-dollar-deal/): Being part of bid and tender teams can be a key role for individual contributors in the (testing) staff levels.
- [What About Expected Results? 2022](https://www.o2sn.dk/2022/01/15/what-about-expected-results-2022/): TL;DR: We should know better than to require expected results in test case steps.
- [But what if we can’t release often? 2021](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/12/08/but-what-if-we-cant-release-often/): The accomplishment is more preparation than performance.
- [Who Brings in New Knowledge?](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/11/17/who-brings-in-new-knowledge/): Well, if you are reading this – there’s a good chance it’s you. Especially if you read this with the intention of sharing this with your team. I hope you do, obviously 😊. But perhaps it’s unclear whose responsibility it is, to bring new knowledge to the team. Is it always the team manager job – or is it a dedicated person that by role, or by habit, that bring in new knowledge?
- [Using MTTR to Understand When to Test](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/10/27/using-mttr-to-understand-when-to-test/): IT systems are a side quest to the business - don't lose track of the main goal. Use MTTR to understand when to add explicit testing
- [Create Situational Aware Test Plans](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/09/16/create-situational-aware-test-plans/): Let's create situational aware test plans
- [Hunches and Hard Truths](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/08/24/hunches-and-hard-truths/): technologies and practices develop in a predictable pattern
- [Implementing Change – First Steps](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/08/11/implementing-change-first-steps/): Stepping into the deep water – have a few supporting first steps.
- [There is a Model for your Trouble](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/08/03/there-is-a-model-for-your-trouble/): There more and more I listen, the more I hear - they have not applied any models of the problem at hand. And there usually is a model of the problem space already. Any old model is preferable over no model at all.
- [Calculating Time To Information](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/07/28/calculating-time-to-information/): Key elements in calculating time to information is how far away the information is and how evolved the information is. It's no use if you can turn the ship around on a plate now, if you needed it yesterday.
- [Focus on Goals over Risks, 2021](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/07/09/focus-on-goals-over-risks/): What to do to understand business goals
- [Conway’s Law for Test Automation? 2021](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/07/02/conways-law-for-test-automation-2021/): We shape our tools and, thereafter, our tools shape us.
- [Something About Leadership](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/02/15/something-about-leadership/): My role these days are less about direction and (micro)managing a team of testers on a project, more about enabling others to succeed with their testing both in the delivery teams and in the board room.
- [The Testing, not the Testers, 2021](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/01/25/the-testing-not-the-testers/): Things are the way they are because they got that way
- [Relations – are about half of IT](https://www.o2sn.dk/2021/01/18/relations-are-about-half-of-it/): You can’t have IT projects without relations. Relations matter more than it seem.
- [Align you Test Strategy to your Business Strategy](https://www.o2sn.dk/2020/11/09/align-you-test-strategy-to-your-business-strategy/): We need to be able to read the business strategy and prepare the test strategy accordingly.
- [Making a Map of Risks](https://www.o2sn.dk/2020/10/06/making-a-map-of-risks/): How to use Wardley Mapping to understand how you deliver customer value
- [Visualize the Test Strategy](https://www.o2sn.dk/2020/08/30/visualize-the-test-strategy/): There are plenty of models/frameworks that list what you could have of testing activities - but there seems to be little assistance in WHAT to do in which situations. I have two visual ideas - let's explore how to plan the test strategy. And yes, there's no size fits all - context matters.
- [Where Does Testers Fit In?](https://www.o2sn.dk/2020/06/10/where-does-testers-fit-in/): We often discuss where the "testing people" fit into the organisation - are they part of a delivery team or an enablement team independently of the delivery teams? The Team Topologies model enables a discussion about this challenge and a guidance on what goes where and why.
- [Someone else will do it, 2020](https://www.o2sn.dk/2020/06/03/someone-else-will-do-it-2020/): Which got me thinking....
- [Shoot, Neglect or Train?](https://www.o2sn.dk/2020/02/24/shoot-neglect-or-train/): How you treat the bringer of (bad) news tells me a lot about the organisation and potential for business growth
- [Go read Accelerate!](https://www.o2sn.dk/2020/02/13/go-read-accelerate/): The book is a tour the force into software delivery performance - the research and statistics shows a clear correlation from DevOps and Lean principles to high achieving organisations. Every arrow on the below model is backed with research. Read the arrow clearly as "drives", "improves" and "lead to". E.g. Continuous Delivery leads to Less Burn out.
- [Closing the Gaps](https://www.o2sn.dk/2019/10/22/closing-the-gaps/): When I’m in a testing activity I want my test cases , my user stories and my coffee .  Stuff may have a start point, some states in between and an end state. Lets look at ways to represent states and articulate the meaning of states.One way to illustrate status about the product being tested is to model the activities we have with states. An agile user story may be , or . A document may be , and a mind map may be iconified etc. States are so common that we sometimes forget the theory behind the model, and what benefits we have from the theories.
- [How Automation Affects the Business](https://www.o2sn.dk/2019/09/21/how-automation-affects-the-business/): As of writing I am managing the testing of a large enterprise IT program, where we are implementing a new commercial enterprise solution (COTS).
- [In Charge of Testing](https://www.o2sn.dk/2019/07/21/in-charge-of-testing/): As the test manager I need to facilitate a quite a range of testing activities
- [Broaden the scope of the SUT](https://www.o2sn.dk/2019/04/20/broaden-the-scope-of-the-sut/): When testers talk about SUT (System Under Test) there seem to be an implied context of it being software, developed, bespoke software to be specific. Let me broaden the notion of a SUT using Wardley Maps and with that illustrate how testing can add value across the board.
- [Your Mileage Will Vary, 2019](https://www.o2sn.dk/2019/03/08/ymmv/): You are not doing it wrong
– you’r mileage is just different.
- [You don’t have to be a boss to be a leader, 2018](https://www.o2sn.dk/2018/08/24/you-dont-have-to-be-a-boss-to-be-a-leader/): For many of us learning whether or not you know about Jerry Weinberg is a kpi for how serious you are about testing as a career and craft. You don’t have to agree with him, but you should know him.
- [Don’t request the kitchen sink](https://www.o2sn.dk/2017/08/23/dont-request-the-kitchen-sink/): More and more often I see outsourcing contracts that requests 10-15 test phases. It looks like someone has simply thrown the book at it, and not considered if it is an infrastructure project, a software development project or COTS implementation or – what on earth, they actually want to learn from the testing.
- [Less Test Managers, More Test Coaches](https://www.o2sn.dk/2017/08/13/less-test-managers-more-test-coaches/): I see it as a pattern, and what I read from the threads and discussions is that many test managers gradually shift towards test coaches.
- [Test ALL the things, 2017](https://www.o2sn.dk/2017/07/27/test-all-the-things/): We can add testing to all requirements and all business risks.
