I’m Ash Winter, a consulting tester and conference speaker, working as an independent consultant providing testing, performance engineering, and automation of both build and test. I have been a team member delivering mobile apps and web services for start ups and a leader of teams and change for testing consultancies and their clients. I spends most of his time helping teams think about testing problems, asking questions and coaching when invited. I am most proud of being a co-organiser for the Leeds Testing Atelier, a free full day community testing workshop. Its mission is to give those involved in testing a platform to share their stories, particularly those who haven’t been heard before.

I’m Rob Meaney, I have a degree in electrical & electronic engineering. I came to work in the software industry soon after finishing college and began working as a tester without even knowing what stating was. I learned my trade testing desktop applications for manufacturing safety automation industry. Soon I got bored of manually checking the same thing over and over to I decided to try automating some of my tests. Since then I have worked in the start-ups, gaming, data storage, medical, fraud detection and communication companies building test and automation frameworks. I’ve worked as a manual tester, automation architect and test manager. I love testing and continuously read and learn about testing and development. From a personal perspective, I love to work hard and have fun doing it. I’m always up for a bit of messing but I take my job very seriously.
