Devnology Podcast 048 - Emma Armstrong

from Devnology Podcast Hosted by Devnology

In this episode we talk about software testing with Emma Armstrong. We talk about what makes a good tester, and we discuss testing katas as a way to introduce and practice testing. Emma is a test engineer and all-round do-gooder at Red Gate Software and has been baking quality into software for over 13 years. In that time she’s gotten her hands dirty with both manual and automated testing and had the opportunity to dig into everything from compilers to web applications. She’s worked with most methodologies, gotten to grips with technologies ranging from chipset hardware to UI (and everything in between), managed test teams and is currently working on one of Red Gate’s latest developer tools.
