Florian Sommerfeldt

Engineer in Testing

A test engineer who enjoys designing, developing and testing products and services that solve real problems. By collaborating, learning, exploring and experimenting.

Engineering

I have experience in developing single page applications, REST API backends and test automation frameworks. I have also worked on solution designs and have been involved in building cloud infrastructure.

Testing

I test highly complex and configurable systems through learning, knowledge management and experimentation. I collaborate to support my learning and to identify problems as early as possible. In this way I aim to improve services and products.

Improving

Successful software development is a challenge. I use my critical thinking and understanding of dependencies and processes to help people and organisations improve. Focusing on one small improvement at a time helps me make a difference over time.

Learning

Software development offers constant learning opportunities. About business domains, technology stacks, tools, and approaches. It is an unknown ocean of knowledge. Waiting for me to be discovered by setting sail and starting to explore.

Teaching

Over the years, I’ve developed a toolkit to guide my testing approach. I share this toolkit in a newsletter, offering practical guidance and also conducting workshops to help others create their own testing toolkit. In addition, I offer an in-depth course focused on risk-based testing.
