Top SchoolChris Harbert is a founder and CEO with deep roots in test automation and quality engineering, who turned two decades of hands-on testing experience into Testery, a platform that has executed over 50 million tests for paying customers. He built and led QA organizations at Resonate and CARFAX, bringing XP practices, TDD, CI/CD, and high-concurrency test execution to production workflows long before these were mainstream. Chris combines technical chops (Java, Selenium, data pipeline and model testing) with product and people leadership—hiring and retaining high-performing teams and scaling automated coverage into the thousands of tests. Notably, he was responsible for testing thousands of AI/ML models nearly a decade before generative AI went mainstream, giving him rare expertise in model validation and data quality. Based in Columbia, Missouri, he helps organizations get started with test automation, migrate frameworks, and optimize existing test runs for speed, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
