John is passionate at building well tested, self documenting software. I was responsible for software development and QA testing. An important part of software quality is the process of testing and validating the software. John was invaluable in our implementation of our new software. He was very professional and knowledgeable about the software. He's always up-to-date on software and software development processes. His work has given altogether new direction to software testing.
I worked with John on various software testing projects. He made recommendations to the client, which, when implemented, allowing the client to better test the software. Although he did not have recent software testing experience, he picked it up quickly and was very thorough.
Overall, he's been an inspiration and an excellent insight into how software testing should be done.
