Kelly Wason
QA Team Lead at Transpire
Speaker Biography
Kelly has worked in the software testing industry for over 15 years. She has had the opportunity to work with high profile companies on a range of projects from small startups through to multimillion-dollar systems. This has given her extensive experience in understanding the QA needs for a business, a team, the processes and tools required to best suit.
In her current role as QA Team Lead for Transpire, she continues to embark on the journey of test automation. With a more recent focus on native iOS and Android apps, working with a range of tools such as Appium, XCUITest, Espresso as well as API specific, SoapUI and Mocha has allowed her to garner a deeper understanding of the technologies to determine the best solution for a product’s needs.
She understands that not all projects are the same and not all companies are the same. That is why she feels the need for personalised solutions which satisfies a specific requirement and the expertise of the team.
Kelly strongly believes testing cannot be a person’s responsibility. It’s about understanding the skills of the team and choosing a solution that best fits. This and incorporating CI/CD best practices as a team, ensures collaboration and shared responsibility within the team.
With a current focus on working to improve end to end CI/CD solutions with development teams, Kelly will continue to familiarise and up-skill to recognise the best Quality Assurance solutions for her and her team.
