A Senior Test Engineer at PayPoint.net, I specialise in delivering, and supporting all facets of the quality cycle, from directing agile development teams in methods of unit testing, through to supporting business acceptance and performing non-functional testing.

I have extensive experience in build automation, with the use of Jenkins, in a heavily modularised, clustered, service oriented environment, and delivering changes to product offerings in a real-time high-availability risk-adverse environment.

Mar 29	comment	Selenium tests aren´t launched anymore Which browser are you testing with, I had some problems when a remote FireFox node upgraded itself so each time Selenium started it had a dialog asking a "user" to check plugins updates. This blocked selenium running properly and caused all our tests to timeout.
Nov 20	comment	Jenkins fails to restart after updating plugins The Maven plugin is integrated into Jenkins/Hudson and is delivered as part of the core. Can you give more of the stack trace, and possibly the versions of plugins that are installed?
Nov 4	comment	How Does System Testing Differ From System Integration Testing (SIT)? No problem, feel free to accept the answer if you think I answered your question. :-)
Oct 28	comment	Fitnesse editor with syntax validation? Not that I know of, even in the case of the eclipse plugin, the text based DSL isn't validated against the java annotations/methods that deliver that functionality. It does support some auto complete, but it isn't as rich as it could be. I would imagine this is true for the vim, and probable for the IntelliJ plugin too.
Oct 26	comment	Test Case Management Software After reading this suggestion I've given the approach a trial run. I'm using some templates and some parser functions to create "Scenario" pages which contain `[[TestStep\|NameOfTestStep]]` to import a test step using transclusion. I've tried to set it up so that if a test step doesn't exist, it lets you create a new page with preloaded template. I'm trying to greate a backlog of test steps (Login to app, Create new report etc) which can be collated into Scenarios, and then Scenarios can be imported into Test Plans.
