About Me
My career and technology interest walks the line between software testing and data visualization. I work as the sole tester of a distributed platform for a major credit reporting agency and I was chosen for this job because I love writing code. Testing is my development domain just as others develop for the web or for operating systems.
In December 2009 I finished a Masters of Science in Software Engineering at Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, Georgia. My thesis project was about visualizing software quality. It was so interesting that I’m continuing my work independently.
I started blogging as a way to sort out my learning on the job in software testing and the academic work I was doing for my Masters. It has settled into a blog about my continued efforts to be a better tester and my efforts to visualize aspects of software testing.
“…I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract
explain the change, the difference between
what you want and what you need
there’s the key, your adventure for today
what do you do between
horns of the day…”

Dear Marlena,
You are a most brash and cheeky young woman. I find your blogs to border on dangerous and daring yet ending with a touch of the endearing. May you and your software mind challenge your mountain hiking hippie drama roots I know as your foundation. But that is you my friend – full of juxtaposition – software testing compared to hard core art interpretations? You are out of your mind. But from one southern girl to another – I’m gonna miss your sweet a*!!!#!
ps- I can’t wait to visit you in Sydney
