Stephanie Ulrich
Members present themselves
Founding member of the GTB
Stephanie Ulrich is one of those people who was already enthusiastic about software testing back in the 1990s. She was a quality manager in the application development department of a large tourism company. She now works for a major bank, where she has developed guidelines for test and quality management in a central role. She has also worked as a project manager, test manager and Scrum Master, and is currently employed as a test management consultant.
With a twinkle in her eye, Stephanie Ulrich says about herself: „As soon as I come into contact with software, I find bugs.“ She is attracted to testing because of the possibility of applying detective-like perception on one hand, and the possibility of enhancing the quality level of systems on the other hand. Facing a problem and having to find a solution to it – this basically scientific approach still fascinates the certified biologist today. It is therefore no coincidence that she has been a member of the Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI) for almost 15 years, where she is mainly active in the working group „Test, Analysis and Verification of Software“ (TAV).
Since she knows that testing is not a mere sideline, but an independent and professional activity, she is also one of the founding members of the GTB e. V. In this association, she leads the Foundation Level working group of the Tester Certification and also collaborates in the Advanced Level working group. In addition, she represents the GTB at the international umbrella organization, the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB®), in all matters relating to the Foundation Level certification. As far as the GTB is concerned, she values the fact that all important perspectives are represented in this organization, from industry to universities. At the same time, the organization is clearly set up – for Stephanie Ulrich a sign of its ability to act.
