In terms of Richard the tester, I’m a strong believer in automation in testing, this being the use of automation to support testing, not test automation. I don’t believe testing can be automated. I do believe automation can play a big part within testing though, when viewed as a tool. We can build tools to do automated checking, as well as building custom tools to assist testing, such as data creation, log parsers and evidence collecting.
I’m very active in the testing community, I tweet regularly as @FriendlyTester and I’m a regular attendee at meetups throughout the U.K.
