The Project
A Tester’s Toolkit is an attempt to support anyone curious about software testing and quality engineering with valuable tools, lessons learned and perspectives.
Much of my career has been built on what other experienced professionals have shared with me. I feel it is now time to do the same for others.
The Author
I graduated as a software engineer and decided to pursue a career in software testing. Since then I have worked in the areas of e-commerce, banking, taxation, security, and public transport.
For me, testing is learning through exploration and experimentation. Because learning is such a motivating factor, I am fascinated by complex systems, technologies and domains.
I focus not only on testing software, but also on the entire development process, including the people involved and the technology stack. I try to have a positive and lasting impact on organisations, teams, people and processes. My experience as a scrum master and project manager helps me to do this.
Want to know more about me? I wrote a post about what motivates me.
