Makes sure what we ship behaves the way we said it would.

Introduction

Richard has six years of quality assurance experience across payments, B2B SaaS, clinical software and mobile apps. Richard works from the requirements forward, writing test plans while features are still being designed, so problems get caught when they're cheapest to fix.

Richard keeps manual exploratory testing and automated coverage in balance. Critical paths get automated regression suites in CI, and new features get a careful human pass before release. Every KrysInfinity release goes through Richard's validation checklist.
