Having worked as research assistant, presales and professional service consultant, tester and trainer I joined ista in 2011 as Team Manager Software Test. During the agile transformation I changed my role to Expert Software Engineer – Test. I focus on cross-platform e2e tests, use test cases as well as exploratory testing, and automate tests at different levels. I love communities and conferences.

Creating a continuous testing culture and supporting continuous learning. ... Basically you had me at "continuous". Co-lead of Quality Engineering in the John Lewis Partnership.

I build test automation frameworks for fun and profit.

Been a career tester since 1998 and worked in most industry sectors. Still passionate about Quality. Also passionate about Motorcycles, Music, Psychology, Hypnosis, Food, and Health.

I explore the world of software development and testing. Join me as I continue my adventures, discovering the wonders of quality.

Hi. I am Thomas Shipley and I work in Quality Advocacy. My career is focused on understanding what others in a team are doing. The impact of planned work, managing the expectations of stakeholders and analysing development changes. By asking questions of a team I can better understand the impacts of these changes. Understanding more I begin to coach teams. Sharing my expertise in testing with the team so they can start thinking more like testers themselves. I mentor, pair, persuade and promote towards my goal of shared quality ownership. Sometimes this is challenging but often worth it!

I test everything and hold on to what is good and try to get what is bad abstained.

I'm a Quality Engineer currently working for Dutch Railways - no trains though, I work on the bike sharing team!

I am a vibrant, motivated and committed individual. I have been in the testing industry now for over 7 years. It's been a great experience learning and sharing skills. I aim to broaden my knowledge further more. Data science is what I am currently focusing on, and it's very exciting to see all the new things one could learn out of it and merge it with testing. Definitely quite interesting!
