Simon Amey

Simon has worked in the high-tech industry for over 20 years, in roles as diverse as a software engineer, product manager, project manager, support engineer, and operations manager. However, most of his time has been spent breaking other people’s code as a tester and test manager.

He has worked in organizations as small as thirty people and as large as some of the biggest tech companies in the world; he has seen companies go out of business and worked in those acquired for their technology.

All that experience has given him a deep insight into the development process. In particular, he knows the problems cause by inadequate testing, and how to solve them.

When not breaking people's code he's playing with his kids, and when coronavirus lockdowns forced him to be a temporary teacher he had great fun spreading his knowledge. The results were fascinating, so he wrote them down for others to learn from too.
