Agile software tester working closely with product development team. I help teams to craft more testable user stories. Testing teacher, unit and integration test review and advisement, exploratory testing coach. Exploratory tester (manual tester) and test automator using Ruby and WATIR. Software testing speaker, workshop facilitator, author, and blogger.

Claire Moss has always had a passion for writing, which might be a strange trait for a discrete mathematician, but that doesn’t stop her from blogging or writing testing articles. After working briefly as a software programmer during college, Claire signed on as a quality engineer after graduation. By now, Claire has been testing software for 10 years. When you find your calling, you never look back! You might say she’s a compulsive empiricist when it comes to software. Claire continues to use her evil powers for good on the job and on her blog.

Claire has been known to say:
I break software. Other people fix it. Best job in the world.
I break it. You buy it.
I use my evil powers for good!
Test everything; retain what is good. — 1 Thessalonians 5:21
I am a big nerd.
