Systems Quality Analyst
I like to refer to myself as a chaos magnet, because if software is going to go wrong, it will go wrong for me. I stumble over edge cases without trying, accidentally summons demonic entities, and am a shameless geek girl of the science fiction and fantasy variety, with a strange sense of humor. Testing for more than 15 years has done nothing to make my sense of humor any less strange. I have a twitter account which I mostly ignore, and a Facebook account which I also ignore. If there's anyone who is worse than me at social media, I haven't met them. The same applies to my very intermittently updated blog (which I've been meaning to get back to for... more than 3 years now)

<div><em>Systems thinking is the ability to mentally “zoom out” to have the overview of what the entire system is doing, what its purpose is, how it interacts with and fits into the organization as a whole and other software used by the organization. It’s the whole question of what it does, why it does it, who it does it for, when and where it does it in the context of the entire collection, and how it does it in a generic sense.</em></div> image
