Speaker Bio

Software testing has been a huge part of my life for more than fifteen years now. I've built and led teams in Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom at companies ranging from small start-ups to enterprise level multinational corporations, including heading up software testing for the European Product Development department at eBay. I'm now the managing director of House of Test UK.

Talk Intro

My view of testing and software development is heavily influenced by my martial arts background. I hold a 5th Dan in kendo and represented Australia several times at the world kendo championships. Just as with kendo, or anything worth mastering, software testing requires consistent and deliberate practice with the intent to improve.

This talk explores the inter-related nature of software development disciplines, team dynamics, common problems and how taking insights from traditional Japanese arts and the apprenticeship model might lead to overall industry improvement.
