Can We Measure Software Quality?

Session Speaker

Bart Van Raemdonck

Axxes IT Consutancy, Belgium

I’m Bart, a seasoned software tester from Belgium with over a decade of experience in software testing and a strong passion for test automation. I began my career in software development, but after dealing with the frustrations of unresolved bugs, I discovered my true calling: ensuring software reliability.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working on impactful media projects for Belgian organizations such as VRT (Flemish Radio and Television Broadcasting Organisation) and DPG Media, one of Belgium’s leading media groups. For the past five years, I’ve been a QA Coach at Axxes, where I mentor and guide emerging professionals.

Currently, I’m proud to serve as the Technical Lead of Software Testing at Axxes, where I help drive innovation and best practices in the field.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about sports, music, and gaming, which allow me to stay energized and creative beyond my technical pursuits.
