Témoignage de Joachim RobertKissKissBankBank, Web Integrator

When I changed careers, I wanted to bring meaning to my new assignments. Because I felt the need to consider the end user first, I took the Opquast training and then the certification. Thanks to what I learned, I succeeded in my interviews and convinced those who became my team. Opquast gave me the keys to understand quality, but also to find missions that make sense.

Web servers spend their time recording a lot of information about users. This data is recorded in so-called log files. This is very useful and even vital for analyzing the audience, for spotting errors and it is essential for developers. On the other hand, among the information that is continuously transmitted is the original page.
