About Hans Steps | Senior QA Specialist & Embedded Scrum Master

With over 25 years of experience in testing complex, business-critical software systems, I specialize in delivering high-quality results within demanding environments. Based in the Netherlands , I have a proven track record across diverse sectors, including Automotive, Finance, and Energy.

My expertise lies in a deep, hands-on mastery of functional testing combined with a strategic vision for quality assurance. I specialize in:

• Extensive Functional Testing: 25+ years of experience in system testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), and regression testing.
• API & Integration Testing: Hands-on experience validating integrations and data flows using tools such as Postman and Swagger.
• CRM Expertise: Specialist in testing large-scale Salesforce and Siebel implementations, ensuring seamless end-to-end functionality.
• Agile & SAFe Leadership: I support Scrum teams not only as a tester but also as an Embedded Scrum Master, helping teams improve flow, collaboration, and Agile maturity.
  
• Security-aware Testing: As a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), I am currently broadening my profile towards security-aware testing to identify vulnerabilities early in the lifecycle.

​Whether it is managing End-to-End testing within a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) or setting up structured test cases using dataflow and decision tables , I am dedicated to aligning with Product Owners and developers to ensure reliable, high-quality releases.
