The scope and scale of the projects, and the types of platforms, technologies and methodologies he’s worked with have been widely varied. Jacob studied under Jon Bach to adopt a context-driven approach to test design. One of Jacob’s favorite topics in QA is epistemology. How do we know that our test results are accurate? How do we ensure inherent biases in our test execution methodologies do not manifest in false positives or false negatives?
