As much as I love to code, my passion is in testing. I truly enjoy when I get to marry the 2.
I'm currently in my ideal setting where 130% of my time is allocated. I get to deploy 2-3 times per week and still work on building new and exciting applications.
I started out testing in the electronic manufacturing field. After a long long break, I ended up moving to a UAT coordinator role at the company that I was with and my passion for testing was ignited. I haven't looked back at other non-testing roles since.

Data driven testing on Selenium ide This largely depends on the language that you're using. You will need to write code to retrieve and pass on that data. |

“session has expired” error - after clicking a button with webdriver in IE8 Have you tried seeing what's different yet? Are the http requests significantly different between when selenium navigates through the pages as opposed to when you do? Have you checked for any security settings in IE that may be causing issues? |

How can my team move away from record-and-playback when not everyone has scripting experience? +1 for the last paragraph. Forcing all testers to start automating is a great way to kill the spirit of some amazing testers. |

UI test automation tools for Windows Phone 8 metro apps? Took a look at the site out of curiosity. They unfortunately only have 3 Windows Phone devices, all C900's, which won't run Windows Phone 8. I can see this service being possibly useful for other OS's however. |

How to checkin Eclipse code into git repository in ProjectLocker? This is a much better fit for, as Phil suggested, Project Locker's support, or something more generic such as stackoverflow. |

Should tester fix bugs? In theory, there would be more than one tester on these teams. I'll maybe see about editing my answer later today, but, there does need to be some sort of process in place for these circumstances. |

Developers have code kata to practice skills. What test equivalents are there? My main take-aways were more learning other approaches to classic things like bug reports. Before reporting a bug, I would always look through the bugs that were already there so that I wouldn't create a duplicate. There are so many different ways to create a report as simple as this, each with it's own benefits depending on the situation. |

How to convince BA that her software requirement may cause problems? Furthermore, if this is absolutely a requirement, there are definitely ways to mitigate most of the risks such as user accounts, storage method, and storage location. |

Best approach/tool to develop an automation suite to test an XML API? Sorry for the late reply. I really haven't done anything using/building any extensions for soapUI. I'll certainly ask around to some co-workers with more experience with it however. |

Not displaying nunit tests in visual studion after NUnit integration in Visual Studio Stupid "is it plugged in question" from me, but, are you selecting the appropriate namespace/class in the gui? |
