Follow the “It Works on My Machine” podcast on Spotify to hear more about the latest in software testing and cybersecurity.

In this podcast, we talk with our quality assurance experts about all things testing, whether it is manual functional testing, test automation, performance testing, or even security testing. You will hear about first-hand experiences with clients, testing methodologies and tools, and the trends and practices influencing the software development world from the eyes of Quality Assurance. Enjoy!

In this first pilot episode of the podcast, we talk with spriteCloud’s Chief Operations Officer, Martin Cunnington, Quality Assurance Engineer, Roel Wijker, and host, Marion Molliet, about Accessibility Testing. 

It might surprise you to know that between 15-20% of people (approximately 1 billion people) have a disability of some form. Accessibility Testing helps developers ensure that their application can reach this rather larger segment of their target group. Listen to Martin and Roel talk about the impetus for accessibility testing and their experiences in testing for accessibility.

In the second episode of ‘It Works on My Machine’ we are joined by our colleagues Julia, Vamsi, Feyza, Kerem, and Umut to discuss why they decided to move to the Netherlands to work at spriteCloud. 

We will explore their experiences of moving, living, and working in the Netherlands and which challenges they faced. We’ve selected a group of people that have lived in the Netherlands for a few years and some people who are fresh off the boat (so to speak) to give you our listeners a variety of perspectives. They will also tell us about the differences they noticed compared to their previous countries of residence and what maternity and paternity leaves look like in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands is facing a shortage of IT talent, so you might find yourself considering a move to the Netherlands in the future. We hope this three-part episode of our podcast will help you learn about your potential new home.
