I have been working in the field of Automated Testing for more than 10 years. I haveDeveloped well established Automation Test Frameworks from scratch.

I completed my Masters in Information Technology from Northumbria University at Newcastle upon tyne and it was during my dissertation project, that I developed a keen interest in software testing. The hypothesis of my dissertation project was “Can software testing be used to assign marks to students programming assignments”

 I am always willing to share knowledge and have written technical blogs for BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/internet/posts/Testing-BBC-iPlayer-reading-from-XML-JSON-files-into-Java

I am a freelance contractor and currently working for YNAP, White city as Principal Automated tester.

I started my company Spoolers Solutions Ltd and we have been taking projects including developing robust web solutions for clients.

Automation testers vs Manual Testers? Is that a competition?

If 100% Automation testing possible. If not, then how much we can/should automate?

Are Automation testers supposed to carry out any manual testing?

Which programming language and tools we should use for front end automation testing?

Where should the automation test suite be located? Should it be separate from development code repository?
