Business pressures have mandated the QA organization to test more software, in more complex environments, in abbreviated (and often unrealistic) time frames, while maintaining high quality. Rapid Software Quality Assurance is a modified testing methodology containing best practices for optimizing web testing.

He has 10 years of experience in software testing, test management, and software quality assurance. Eric earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Vermont. He gave his premiere talk at the Software Quality Group of New England's November 2000 meeting and will also be presenting at BOSCON, NESQAF and STAR East this year.
