In this memory: Chris Briggs

Chris Briggs gave the first outing of his talk "The Good, The Right, and The Fitting at Leeds Testing Atelier," a session on moral philosophy in software testing.

He introduced ethical concepts from Aristotle, Kant, and Utilitarian thought, and explored how these ideas can help us make more conscious, values-led decisions in our day-to-day work. Instead of offering the answers, Chris armed folks with tools and language to help them examine the ethics of their work, question decisions, and start deeper conversations with their teams.
