Education & Career
Marc-Florian Wendland studied media informatics and subsequently computer engineering at the Beuth University of Applied Sciences (formerly: TFH Berlin). His diploma thesis “Information Integration in Heterogeneously Distributed Databases” was awarded the coveted Joachim Tiburtius Prize for the best diploma thesis in Berlin in 2008. For more than ten years, he has worked as a research associate at the Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS, focusing on the optimization of quality assurance processes in complex, software-intensive systems. He has been responsible for the development of strategies, solutions and prototypes in numerous national and international research and industry projects in a wide range of industries. His specialization is the automation of test design and execution. He has worked on the incorporation of abstraction for the purpose of automation, such as is the case with model-based and keyword-driven testing.
Ever since he started working at the Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS, Marc-Florian Wendland has been involved in various standardization activities. Since 2010, he has been leading the UML Testing Profile (UTP) working group at the OMG. In addition, he is involved in the standardization work around the modeling languages UML and SysML. At ETSI, he was instrumental in the publication of the test modeling language Test Description Language (TDL). Briefly, Marc-Florian Wendland was also deputy head of the Software Testing Berlin/Brandenburg expert group. Since 2019, Marc-Florian Wendland has been a member of the German Testing Board (GTB) and is active there as deputy working group leader for the training programs “Test Automation Developer” (ATE) and "Acceptance Testing” (AccT).
In addition to his industry-related research activities at the Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS and standardization and committee work, Marc-Florian Wendland is also active as a freelance trainer for the various ISTQB Certified Tester training courses.
