About Joachim Decker

Joachim Decker arbeitet seit mehr als 25 Jahren in den Bereichen Testmanagement, Test Engineering und Testautomation. Er sammelte dabei Erfahrungen in den Bereichen Automotive, eCommerce, Engergy, eHealth, etc.

Am liebsten möchte Joachim 1000 Jahre alt werden, ja 1000. Ja, tatsächlich! - Wieso?

Ganz einfach, weil er solange bleibt, bis alle verstanden haben, wie wertvoll Softwaretest ist. Aber bis alle davon überzeugt sind, dauert es eben.

Im Ernst, es hat nichts mit Hoffnungslosigkeit o.Ä. zu tun, sondern eher mit der Tatsache, dass der Softwaretest in vielen Projekten immer noch nicht den Stellenwert erfährt, den er wirklich verdient. Was wäre denn, wenn wir alle nur Software entwickeln und nicht testen würden? Dabei will doch jeder zuverlässige Softwareprodukte.

Es ist ganz sicher eine sehr große Herausforderung sich für Software Qualitätssicherung einzusetzen, insbesondere im Softwaretest. Aber diese Herausforderung nimmt er sehr gerne an. Schon alleine deshalb, weil er es sehr spannend findet, es sein Ding ist und er es aus Leidenschaft macht. Was könnte also spannender sein, wie ein berufliches Umfeld damit zu prägen, dass man Qualität von Anfang an und permanent integriert.

Joachim Decker has been working in the fields of Test Management, Test Engineering, and Test Automation for more than 25 years. Throughout his career, he has gained extensive experience across various industries, including automotive, e-commerce, energy, e-health, and many others.

Joachim's greatest ambition? To live to be 1,000 years old. Yes, you read that right — one thousand years!

Why? It's simple: he intends to stick around until everyone truly understands just how valuable software testing is. And let's face it, convincing everyone might take a while.

But seriously, this ambition has nothing to do with pessimism or a lack of hope. Quite the opposite. It reflects the reality that software testing still doesn't receive the recognition and importance it truly deserves in many projects.

Just imagine a world where we only developed software but never tested it. What would that look like? After all, everyone expects software products to be reliable, don't they?

Championing software quality assurance, particularly software testing, is undoubtedly a significant challenge. But it's a challenge Joachim wholeheartedly embraces.

Why? Because he finds it fascinating. Because it's what he does best. And above all, because he's genuinely passionate about it.

For Joachim, few things are more rewarding than helping shape a professional environment where quality isn't just an afterthought, but is built into everything from the very beginning and continuously throughout the entire software development lifecycle.
