Achievements 2017
Speaking
The invitation to CAST2017 in Nashville was the highlight in speaking 2017. It was a pleasure the have the Gotthard-Talk at CAST. Had a lot of good conversations – and enjoined the city.
Sailing
It was a dream getting the boat license. I took three courses from ASVZ and had to demonstrate the learned procedures in mid summer. Due to no wind we had to start three times. Got the good result the second time and supporting the colleagues the third time.
Then I was sailing renting a boat from Sailbox. Once experiencing strong winds up to 6+ Bft. Could put in 2 reef, enjoyed the ride a lot.
What will 2017 bring?
2016 is over! Schedule operation on the Gotthard Basetunnel is daily business. There might be one or the other software release to make things even smoother. I moved forward to the next project. The Ceneri Basetunnel will occupy me until 2020. Proven technique from GBT will be applied.
Sailing is still a topic. Sailing the Laser was awesome. Did two courses beginner and advanced and reached regatta level. What a joy! Making the drivers license for the boat is a dream. Will it come true?
Laser! Ein Traum geht in Erfüllung.
Schon lange träume ich von der kleinen Jolle… Alleine auf dem Boot gegen die Elemente und am liebsten auch gegen die Mitsegler aus der gleichen Klasse. Nun habe ich mich angemeldet für den Grundkurs Laser auf dem Zürisee. Mittlerweise bin ich am Videos studieren, wie die Profis Wenden und Halsen. Habe festgestellt, das Lasersegeln doch SEHR sportlich ist. Na da bin ich mal gespannt!

2013
What’s up for 2013?
In the lab we will have a lot of work. Aim is to spend the effort on the right tasks – this will be vital. We have to write some scripts. Afterwards they are used to test by our testers, who work in pairs of two. Anyway, someone is missing and we have the opportunity to hire someone. Who will bring new knowledge to the team?
Testing – how to develop my skills
There is not much time to sharpen the saw and so I have to focus on some points. I will take time to watch the BBST movies by Cem Kaner. http://www.testingeducation.org/BBST/ if possible I try to take a course and do a certificate of the BBST at http://www.associationforsoftwaretesting.org/training/schedule/.
Maybe there is the chance to get to one or two conferences. First priority would be http://lets-test.com/ because the feedback for last years conf was great. Second prio is, of course, http://www.swisstestingday.ch/ because it’s just nearer, shorter and more affordable.
