This snap from a sunny break at Leeds Testing Atelier captures just a few of the many brilliant contributors to the MoT Software Testing Essentials Certificate (STEC).

In the pic are Gwen Diagram (organiser of Leeds Testing Atelier), Emily O’Connor (speaker) and me (MoT-STEC curator). Both Gwen and Emily have shared their knowledge, experience, and encouragement to help shape the course.

They’re just two of the many who’ve helped shape something special... in total, 57 practising experts have contributed to MoT-STEC! Including other Atelier contributors like Kat Obring (speaker) and Ash Winter (organiser of Leeds Testing Atelier).
