The IT landscape of German banks is facing a decision: standardize or develop individually? It's all about efficiency, flexibility, and future viability. In this blog post, I analyze the reasons for IT investments, highlight trends for 2025, and explain why individual developments are becoming increasingly important. You will also learn how adesso supports banks in harmonizing strategy, technology, and banking business with customized solutions.

Automated testing is more than just technology – it is architecture, collaboration and structure. In this blog post, we show how the generic test automation architecture (gTAA) according to ISTQB can be implemented in practice. Using specific tools, roles and processes, we demonstrate how manual and automated tests can be effectively integrated for greater quality, transparency and efficiency in everyday project work.

Sustainability is becoming a success factor – including in software development. In this blog post, I'll show you how companies can make their digital products more climate-friendly, reduce emissions and even strengthen their competitive position in the process.

Traditionally, deployment pipelines use protected secrets to access cloud providers. These have to be managed in DevOps platforms and rotated regularly. OpenID Connect provides a modern approach: pipelines request short-lived tokens directly from the cloud provider. This blog post covers key aspects of this approach, current support from cloud providers and DevOps platforms, and shows an implementation using GitHub Actions and Azure.

How can the development of medical devices be made easier and more efficient in a world of strict regulations and high safety requirements? The key lies in a strong partner: the ALM tool codeBeamer. This blog post shows how codeBeamer overcomes the challenges of medical technology. Learn practical insights, best practices and tips for project success.

Software testing at adesso: It's more than just finding bugs! Contrary to the widespread cliché that testing is either easy or boring, in our blog post we show you just how multifaceted the work of a software tester really is. At adesso, testing plays a central role in every project and is supported by a wide range of communities and development opportunities.

In the early 2000s, Dojo laid the foundation for many concepts and techniques that are now considered standard. From modular programming to reusable components to asynchronous functions, Dojo provided innovative solutions at a time when there were no uniform standards for the web. In my blog post, I would like to introduce the Dojo Library.

Why write tests when the code is already finished? Early testing does not start in code, but in refinement. In this blog post, I'll show you how ‘Example Mapping’ helps to integrate Test-First directly into refinement. This ensures that requirements are clear from the start and enables faster and better feedback.

In the IT world, we are confronted with complex decisions on a daily basis - be it in architecture planning, technology selection or proposal management. Faced with limited rationality and an uncertain world, we often resort to heuristics: simple, quick decision-making strategies that offer effective solutions despite limited information. From "tallying" to "take-the-best" - in our new blog post, we introduce you to practical heuristics that will help you make smart decisions without getting bogged down in complexity.
