He teaches development teams how to cut down on busywork. His teaching covers practical test design methods—like risk-based and property-based testing—to help engineers figure out exactly what to test and what to safely skip. When he is not advocating for better quality engineering, Ewald spends his time playing music and exploring the outdoors with his family. ## Past Sessions ### World Congress 2024 · July 17, 2024 Berlin, Germany - [Test-reduction - Doing more with less](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/977-test-reduction-doing-more-with-less) · 30 min · 🎥 Watch recording ## Videos - [Test-reduction - Doing more with less](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/977-test-reduction-doing-more-with-less) · Ewald
