As much as I love to code, my passion is in testing. I truly enjoy when I get to marry the 2.

I'm currently in my ideal setting where 130% of my time is allocated. I get to deploy 2-3 times per week and still work on building new and exciting applications.

I started out testing in the electronic manufacturing field. After a long long break, I ended up moving to a UAT coordinator role at the company that I was with and my passion for testing was ignited. I haven't looked back at other non-testing roles since.

Jun 20	comment	Writing selenium tests, should I just get it done or get it right? +1 for removing automated tests that aren't automated. Also, the fine folks over at sta.stackexchange have a little (well, a lot of experience) with Selenium (and most other test automation libraries).

Jul 12	comment	What problem does automated user interface testing solve? +1 for most of your points. However, if automated test cases are the only way to demonstrate that the functionality exists, do the testers ever get a chance to test, or just write automated checks?

Jul 2	comment	Is it realistic to ask your team to take on a 100% automated test coverage goal as a stretch task? As a QA this is the exact approach that I take to legacy applications with no test automation.

Jun 26	comment	What are the differences between QA engineers and software engineers? Even if I had enough rep on this site to downvote, I wouldn't as it's a valid opinion, and those people do exist, although maybe not as many as you might believe. In all of my years in QA, I've only met a handfull of colleagues who wanted to become dev's, and that was only because of the money involved.
