The article was <a href=\"https:\/\/huddle.eurostarsoftwaretesting.com\/resources\/people-skills\/the-deep-rationality-of-software-testing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">published as an e-book<\/a> on January 20th 2020.<br \/>\nIn the article, Anders Dinsen redefines software testing as a necessary and best practice in any development project.

The result is all about quality.<br \/>\nThe ideas are based on Immanuel Kant&#8217;s philosophy. Kant is probably the greatest of all European philosophers, but has a reputation for being pedantic and difficult.<br \/>\nBut we intuitively understand what he says: That knowing things always involves the complexity of experiencing and learning.<br \/>\nThe article can be downloaded as a 50 page A5 e-book free of charge from <a href=\"https:\/\/huddle.eurostarsoftwaretesting.com\/resources\/people-skills\/the-deep-rationality-of-software-testing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EuroSTAR&#8217;s web site<\/a><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3260\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3260\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3260\" src=\"http:\/\/www.asym.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/49100972716_cb0350237e_o.jpg\" alt=\"49100972716_cb0350237e_o\" width=\"1024\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.asym.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/49100972716_cb0350237e_o.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.asym.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/49100972716_cb0350237e_o-300x185.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.asym.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/49100972716_cb0350237e_o-768x473.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3260\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anders was awarded by the committee of the conference during the awards galla in the Zofin palace in Prague<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3258\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3258\" style=\"width: 6000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3258\" src=\"http:\/\/www.asym.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dsc_6496.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_6496\" width=\"6000\" height=\"4000\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">EuroSTAR 2019 took place in wonderful Prague in the impressive Prague Convention Centre<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Software is code, but stakeholders value working software.
