At the Welcome Reception on Wednesday evening the GTB and iSQI honored the 10,000th certified tester. He was certified by iSQI and according to GTB-standards. Mr Marco Weissenborn (pic middle) – actually a software developer and not a tester in the classical sense – explained his interest in the software tester certification as follows: “As a developer it is important to think outside the box. I believe every developer should have basic knowledge of software-testing.” The 37yearold passed his examination in June and was presented with his certificate and an iPodTouch by the GTB president Tilo Linz (pic left). iSQI Director Stephan Goericke (pic right) invited him as a guest of honor to the CONQUEST.
