Top SchoolAlan Richardson is an experienced author, consultant and researcher with over two decades of hands-on software development and 13 years of focused professional experience in Agile testing, automation and technical coaching. He helps teams from startups to enterprises (Spotify, Klarna, ASOS, Camelot, PPRO) improve testing, automation and delivery through pragmatic tooling, TDD practices and exploratory testing. Author of six books including "Selenium Simplified" and "Automating and Testing a REST API," he publishes training courses, open-source tooling and case-study code (github.com/eviltester) to make complex testing concepts reproducible. He blends software testing, API automation and digital marketing—using SEO, video and social—to increase product reach and adoption, and has led developer relations and growth initiatives that doubled and tenfolded user bases. Known for building niche utilities and automation that other teams can’t, he also architects production microservices (Kotlin/Spring) and end-to-end testing pipelines. Based in St Albans, he combines conference-level teaching with practical, deployable examples that teams can adopt immediately.
