Testers' Island Discs Ep17 - Claire Reckless

Description:

This episode of Testers' Island Discs was supported by TestRail, the test management tool that makes testing simpler - it works the way you test. Learn more and try it for free at www.gurock.com/testrail.

It's a warm Northern welcome to the island for Claire Reckless, who comes ashore to talk about the Manchester tech scene, her recent ventures into conference speaking and hosting the Software Testing Clinic, and how these play into her ongoing battles with impostor syndrome.

In amongst the discussions about getting out of your comfort zone and overcoming your inner fears, Claire shares the path that she has taken to become more comfortable, and earns brownie points for picking a song by one of Neil's all-time favourite bands.
