Thomas McCoy
Thomas started his IT career as an applications developer over 20 years ago.
He has always been passionately concerned about software quality issues and the impact that software defects can have on computer users.
With the emergence of the testing profession, Thomas re-oriented his career into software testing and strongly disputes the notion that developers do not make good testers.
