About Me
-
TORSTEN ZELGER
- I keep telling people that I have more talent to break things than to
actually build things, since, whatever I touch breaks apart very
quickly. This has led me to the testing business.
Honestly, I hope this is just a myth since I also built things successfully; things that are still running today (years later) and which are used (unchanged) by a large group of people worldwide. I am inspired a lot by the speaches, articles and books of James Whittaker, Dorothy Graham, Johnathan Kohl and many many more; I am hungry to learn from them on a continuous basis and apply some of these techniques to my daily work. I am also inspired by a lot of bugs that I met in the past and which regularly come back to visit me.
It all started in a garage... Not really, but with a C128 with which I developed a simple ordering software that I used at my work at Transat Sport AG, a wholesaler of Wilson Rackets and Reebok sport-shoes. It was no rocket science, all hard coded, no database, but it was the trigger for me to slip into the IT Business and I never left it ever since. Later, I got facinated by test automation, using tools such as Rational Robot, SOAPUI, InCisif, WatiN, Selenium and I also love home-brew solutions developed in C#.
I love PerlClip and AllPairs, I love to test through the side-door and last but not least...
I love to draw cartoons about software testing, my way of expressing weird experiences into something more exhilarant. GIYBF if you look for "simply the test".
