Barry standing in front of a slide that says:

What best describes your role?

Head of Quality?
Engineering Manager?
Head of Testing?
Test Manager?
Test Lead?
Quality Coach?
Principal Tester
QA / Test Engineer?
Automation Lead?
Project Manager?
Agile Coach?
Something Else?

"If identity is socially constructed, then as quality leaders, we have the power to reconstruct how quality is seen and valued in our organisation." β€” Barry Ehigiator

And Barry highlights the many ways our roles as quality leaders are described.

In the Leading With Quality room in Brighton, a couple of weeks ago, I believe there was at least one of each of these roles.

So many of us can influence the future of quality. And that is exciting within itself.

I've been working in the software testing and quality engineering space since the year 2000 whilst also combining it with my love for education and community. It turns out quality, community and education go nicely hand in hand.
