MoT Leeds September
Great turnout for our latest meetup at our new host Accenture Next Gen Engineering. It was like returning home as they along with previous hosts Infinity Works BC (before Covid) both were bought by the Accenture group.
Quality Engineering Architect
@A11y_Ady on Twitter (X). Passionate about accessibility, exploring and testing as part of the creation and development of software. I help teams build better software and I strongly believe in collaborative methods and using different thought techniques and people perspectives to look at things from many angles.
Accessibility is about inclusion, not just disability.
In my career I’ve been a Director. Test, BI and Logistics Manager. Tester, Test Engineer, QA, Site Lead Tester, Quality Engineering Architect and any other value adding role required at the time. I have also taught, coached and mentored people throughout my career.
My career highlight is creating the Software Tester Apprenticeship for the Coders Guild and training people to get their first role in IT through government sponsored free training courses based on my apprenticeship.
I have my own blog at The Big Test Theory.com sharing my thoughts, occasional poetry and my Periodic Table of Testing, a visual heuristic showing the breadth of the testing universe.
We are a global community with member-led local software testing focused meetups.
