Since completing his computer science studies in 2001, Andreas has dedicated his career to software testing, progressing through various roles from test analyst to test manager, engineer, and consultant. His journey has given him extensive experience in international projects across multiple industries. For the past 15 years, he has been a strong advocate of agile self-empowered teams, believing they provide the creativity needed to address today’s complex testing challenges. Four years ago, he established SBB’s internal testing services team, where in addition he was responsible for developing the company’s testing directive and leading method and tool research initiatives. Recently, he has taken on the role of test lead for one of SBB’s three largest transformation programs. He is particularly passionate about AI, shift-left practices, and automation – approaches that have enabled SBB’s best teams to achieve multiple daily production deployments while maintaining zero production defects for years.
