About Julian
Julian has been actively involved in the software testing world since 1999 when he realised testing was one way to help deliver better software for the ultimate users. Over the years he has: run various companies; worked at Google for four years as a senior test engineer; and until recently was the Tester At Large at eBay. He’s now spending his time and energies with people, companies and projects that leverage technology to help people; where the technology adapts to and suits the users.
Much of his work is freely available online including: various opensource projects, training material, and notes on test automation for web & mobile applications. He wrote the first book on test automation for smartphone applications. And he has published articles, given tutorials and classes, globally, on testing & test automation. He’s also one of the editors, and the main author for the testing sections, for the popular Don’t Panic Mobile Developers Guide to the Galaxy book. The 10th edition was launched in February 2012. He’s currently writing the next book on testing and test automation for mobile phone apps. It’s a collaborative effort where hundreds of people have the opportunity to provide feedback and content.
