Are you struggling to learn test automation as fast as you want? Do you find test automation in agile projects a challenge? Do you feel you are missing out on job opportunities that require better automation skills?
Let's chat!
I'm John, and I help testers become brilliant agile test automation engineers. Over the years I've helped hundreds of testers get into, and become very good at, test automation. As a result I know a thing or two about what works and what doesn't.
WHAT CAN I DO?
I've been helping teams deliver software better for over two decades. But a few years back I had to train a group of testers in BDD and Test Automation. They were mostly new to test automation, but the company needed quality automated testers, and they needed them yesterday! So I came up with a tailored programme to get them there, fast.
And it worked: six months later, they were automating business scenarios 4-5 times faster than colleagues who had not been on the programme.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
Since then I've refined and expanded this approach into a powerful mentoring and training programme called the Serenity Dojo, a tailored programme that helps testers of any background become world-class test automation engineers.
LET'S GET YOU TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF TEST AUTOMATION SKILLS
Whether you're a manual tester looking to get into automation, or you want to evolve to more modern agile practices like in-sprint automation and executable specifications, we should talk!
BUT WHO IS THIS GUY?
I've been working in agile software development for well over two decades, and been coding since the 80s. I'm a published author (including the very popular "BDD in Action") and international speaker. I also created the well-known Serenity BDD test automation framework.
DOES YOUR TEAM NEED HELP ADOPTING BDD?
I also work with organisations who need help with test automation or BDD. I'll run a tailored workshop to introduce the core BDD concepts and practices, and then show individual teams who to apply BDD properly to their own projects. It might be helping teams have the right conversations before work starts on a feature, writing well-structured acceptance criteria, or bootstrapping a high performing test automation framework for teams who don't have the time or experience to do it themselves.
