As an annual sponsor of .NET Usergroup Zentralschweiz, we are delighted to have also hosted their first event of the new year: the community event with Dr. Gernot Starke on January 16, 2024 at the end of the day here at the Rooter D4 Business Center. Dr. Starke, coach and management consultant for software projects and well known in the market, has made it his mission for many years to effectively design the architecture of large systems.

In yesterday’s presentation, Dr. Starke addressed the concept of quality, which is difficult to define in software. Unsurprisingly, it is understood differently by the various stakeholders or they are often unable to explain what exactly they require in terms of quality. Dr. Gernot Starke showed how software quality can be specified and fulfilled in concrete terms in order to ultimately develop better systems.

A total of 25 participants listened to his captivating presentation. The atmosphere was relaxed and engaging, as Dr. Gernot Starke is a popular personality even outside the tech industry and the author of countless specialist books. It was a real pleasure to welcome him and listen to him.

Thanks!
