Facing Impostor Syndrome as a Software Tester - Linda Van De Vooren
Why simple can be right and doubt can mislead you
Tip: This is how much money is saved by testing 👈🏻
"But a lot of people I know, especially in this technical area we are working, they don't have good contact to themselves in this way." - Linda Van De Vooren
In this episode, I talk with Linda Van De Vooren about impostor syndrome, mental health, and growth in testing. Linda shares stories, from eating disorders to the inner critic she named Hannibal Lecter. We look at how doubt hits our work, like writing a test plan that feels too easy. Her tactics: Share openly. Check basic needs. Treat your comfort zone like a rainbow and pick a color you can handle today. Build an honest feedback circle.
In her daily life, Linda Van De Vooren is an amateur (baritone!) saxophonist and an experienced software tester. Living in the center of the Netherlands, she can be found exploring nature, attending concerts, or visiting the theater.
She enjoys working in complex environments and does not shy away from a challenge, whether it stems from technical difficulties or a politically complex environment. In any free time that is left, she is an avid gamer (Nintendo!) and enjoys reading.
