I produce content mostly for this website, but also occasionally for others. I’ll keep this page updated with where you can find my writing and talks elsewhere.

I’ll be speaking at TestBash 2025! How we introduced quality engineering and made everything better will provide insights into how a Quality Engineering approach has helped transform the way organisations approach developing software, and how the Quality teams lead the way!
What is Quality Engineering – 404 Talk – LINK
I recorded a series of 404 talks on Quality Engineering, these are short 4 minute talks on the given topic. In this talk I put forward the argument that Quality Engineering is more than a rebrand, it is an evolution of testing and QA to meet the needs of modern software development.
Why does Quality Engineering matter? – 404 Talk – LINK
In this 404 talk I discuss the importance of integrating quality practices throughout the software development lifecycle. This includes the proactive prevention of defects, the adoption of automation and the cultivation of a collaborative culture to ensure the delivery of high-quality software products.
How is Quality Engineering different from testing? 404 Talk – LINK
A talk that discusses how quality engineering encompasses not only testing but also proactive defect prevention, process improvement and the integration of quality practices throughout the entire software development lifecycle., with an added emphasis on the importance of collaboration.
How are teams approaching Quality Engineering? – 404 Talk – LINK
A short talk about various strategies and practices that teams employ to integrate quality engineering into their software development processes. Probably unsurprising, it includes an emphasis on the importance of collaboration, continuous testing and the adoption of modern testing techniques to enhance product quality and delivery efficiency.

Another episode of The Testing Planet News, this time the more traditional recorded remotely format. In this episode, Simon Tomes hosted Kat Obring, Philippa Jennings, and me in a conversation about continuous quality.
Quality engineer: Whats in a job title? – LINK
When Ministry of Testing put out a call for content related to Quality Engineering I knew exactly what I wanted to write about. This content was originally in an early draft for publishing here, but it made for great content for Ministry of Testing so I was happy to publish it there instead. It covers my view on a myriad of quality related job titles and how Quality Engineering best describes my preferred way of working and organising quality teams.
The Testing Planet News at TestBash 2024 – LINK
My first ever public speaking engagement. I was a last minute addition to the line up when Ash Winter had to drop out and recommended me. Being part of this panel was amazing. It kick started my involvement with Ministry of testing too. During the panel I got to discuss AI tooling and its impact on software, quality and testing with Melissa Fisher, Scout Burghadt, and of course, Simon Tomes.
