I have been an SQA Engineer for about 15 years at Tandem, Wang, Epoch (now EMC), Banyan, Cayenne (once Bachman, now Sterling) and PictureTel, Xedia (consumed by Lucent) and now Tatara Systems. I specialize in test automation and I've been an SQA project lead off and on since my days at Epoch. I've tested file servers, unix kernels, directory services, GUI editors, database schema compilers, system management tools, multipoint conferencing servers, video phones and IP routers. I've built tests using C, Pascal, shell scripts, QA Partner, WinRunner, Visual Test, Visual Basic, Visual C++ and Perl, TCL and expect.

You can reach me at Tatara at jlm@Tatarasystems.com

I'd like to think I've learned something along the way, and I've started to write some of it down. Here's what I've got so far. Comments are welcome.
