Over 25 years ago Mr. Eakin left a career as City Planning to go into the world of IT. He hasn’t looked back since. His journey has covered roles in all aspects of the SDLC; from being a PO and Analyst, to a developer in more programming languages than he can count, to an Agile Coach, to covering nearly every testing role. This extensive experience has enabled Mr. Eakin to become an effective Test Strategist, Test Architect, Test Director and Manager. The last 10+ years have seen Mr. Eakin become an active Agile practitioner and coach. He has coached numerous teams on how to “become more agile” and has talked extensively on Testing Strategy, Gherkin Scripting, Behavior-Driven Development (BDD, my favorite subject), and ATDD (Acceptance Test Driven Development).
