"The idea of Quality House Serbia was a combination of events, people and circumstances. The story begins in 2009 with my visit to the SEETEST conference, where I met the founder of Quality House. In all the years since, we’ve worked together on raising awareness about the necessity of having professional engagement in software testing. It was not a ‘Big Bang’ idea, but an evolutionary process that resulted in founding Quality House in Serbia."
Predrag Skokovic as the MD & Co-founder at Quality House Serbia
How Did the Idea for Quality House Serbia Come to Be?
It was a combination of events, people and circumstances. The story begins in 2009 with my visit to the SEETEST conference, where I met the founder of Quality House. In all the years since, we’ve worked together on raising awareness about the necessity of having professional engagement in software testing. With each exchanged e-mail, small talk or deep discussion, we were one step closer to establishing an entity that would help us spread the word about software testing. It was not a ‘Big Bang’ idea, but an evolutionary process that resulted in founding Quality House in Serbia.
What Did You Want to Become as a Child?
A managing director and my dream came through. Just kidding! I was not very creative in that sense; all my thoughts headed in the direction of mathematics or computer science.
Quality House Is for You?
A place where great ideas about measuring/detecting/exploring the quality of software are formed and put into practice, enabling development teams to build first-class software.
What Do You Value Most in Your Colleagues?
Loyalty.
What Is Your Ideal Work Day?
Start early and finish all demanding tasks in cooperation with the team before lunch. After lunch, a small break, a siesta (I come from the Mediterranean, after all), a short walk. In the afternoon, work on repetitive, non-challenging tasks on my own.
What Is Your Idea for a Perfect Team Building?
A place in space and time without constraints, where the team is solving challenging but amusing (physical activity only if possible, without computers) tasks which tell us more about ourselves.
