About Paul:

Paul help companies transform their software testing from “old school” outsourced checking (they call it testing) to brain-engaged, context-driven software testing.

Paul is a software testing consultant and teacher. Paul is one of four instructors worldwide for the Rapid Software Testing (RST) (http://www.satisfice.com/info_rst.shtml) course.

Paul specialize in adapting testing methodologies to be more effective, efficient, and reducing waste. Finding ways to document only that which needs to be documented. Modifying reporting of test activities to provide actionable information to stakeholders and reduce/eliminate potentially harmful metrics (like pass/fail rates and % of Test Cases executed, etc.) and instead generate useful reports (listing issues, coverage, amount of effort per feature area, etc.).

Paul is currently a Senior Director of Test Engineering at Medidata Solutions, Inc. in New York city. Previously, he was Head of Testing for over 2 years at a small consulting company and before that I was an independent software testing consultant. From 1995 through 2012 Paul worked at Alcatel-Lucent (formerly Newbridge).

During that time I worked primarily as a test manager in the DSL group, and on test automation of ATM switches – focusing on Switched Services, Cell Relay line cards, and Frame Relay line cards.

Prior to entering the telecommunications field, Paul flew Sea King helicopters for the Canadian Military.
