The Principal Test Architect for Quest Software, based in Melbourne, Australia, Lee Hawkins is responsible for testing direction and strategy across their Information Management business. In the IT industry since 1996 in both development and testing roles, Lee’s testing career really started in 2007 after attending Rapid Software Testing with Michael Bolton. Lee was the cofounder of the TEAM meetup group in Melbourne and co-organized the Australian Testing Days 2016 conference. He is a co-founder of the EPIC Testability Academy, a software testing training programme for young adults on the autism spectrum. Lee was the Program Chair for the CASTx18 testing conference in Melbourne. He is a frequent speaker at international testing conferences and blogs on testing at Rockin’ And Testing All Over The World. When not testing, Lee is an avid follower of the UK rock band, Status Quo; hence his Twitter handle @therockertester.
