CICISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security,
Dr Dominic Steinhöfel is team leader of the spin-off InputLab at the CISPA Helmholtz Centre for Information Security and co-founder and managing director of InputLab GmbH, which specializes in synthetic test data with controlled data coverage for critical applications. His vision is a world with reliable information systems, and he sees targeted test data generation as a key to this. Thanks to years of research into program analysis and automated software testing, he brings in-depth scientific expertise to the practical solution of test data problems. He is particularly fascinated by the "misappropriation" of existing artifacts such as data schemas to generate high-quality test data. As a keen observer of the testing community and frequent conference attendee, he is keen to understand the challenges faced by software testers and offer innovative solutions. Dr. Steinhöfel enjoys discussing software quality and his startup journey on LinkedIn and is happy to exchange ideas on specific problems and solutions in test data management.
