The day-to-day work in software development is work that requires a lot of brainpower. It involves high cognitive demands and skills in which perception and attention play a special role. The problem with this is that the way people think can be distorted. A distorted way of thinking leads to thinking traps and consequently to mistakes. Anyone who has mastered a few perceptual-psychological basics can adapt their way of working and especially their programming style in a way that avoids thinking traps and recognises mistakes more quickly.

Interim and completion forecasts are just as important in large agile projects as they are in traditional projects. Unfortunately, the Scrum Guide is no help at all here and classic methods are inadequate in most cases due to the complexity of the requirements. However, simple statistics and a transparent estimation method can be used to arrive at a reliable forecast. I will explain how this works in my blog post.

I have been developing applications using #java since release 1.0. I have gone through all the different enterprise releases starting Servlets and EJB 1.0 to now with #Java EE/#Jakarta EE.

My goal in software development is to build programmes and features that people need and like to use. Only on the way did I slowly realise that simply writing code would probably not be enough. This journey continues to this day. In my blog post, I would like to share the crucial insights and changes of mind I had and give you an idea of what the world of software development is like.

Fitting an agile development project into a waterfall-driven CSV framework and quality system can be a challenge. The first part of this series describes thorough preparation of some key topics before the start of the project to set a good foundation for this endeavor. Like the agile ceremonies and artifacts, the CSV tasks should be an integral part of the overall agile project planning. Likewise, the agile development approach is recommended to be described in the Validation Plan. This article shares best practices and observations and gives insights to some concrete activities that should be considered during the course of such a project.

Applications often contain resources that should only be available to certain users. Management users, for example, administer the information of their employees, whereas sales users administer the information of their customers. This requires closed areas, access to which is controlled by permissions. In this blog post, I would like to show you how to manage these access permissions in Keycloak and how to assign them to groups of users.

I was asked by a group of colleagues to pentest a portal to check that it is secure. As luck would have it, the test revealed only a small number of security vulnerabilities. There was one that really stood out, however. I’ll explain what it was and what took place after the vulnerability was discovered in my blog post.

Customers deserve professional service. Good service goes hand in hand with sales. They both draw on the same data from the same sources and round it all off to create a customer experience that is second to none. SAP Service Cloud is just the right solution to deliver flawless customer service. In my blog post, I’ll describe the benefits and added value that SAP Service Cloud can offer companies.
