v1.2 FAILURE.QualityFrog.com Oh, who am I?

v1.2 FAILURE.QualityFrog.com I am Ben Simo

v1.2 FAILURE.QualityFrog.com I use software

v1.2 FAILURE.QualityFrog.com I test software

v1.2 FAILURE.QualityFrog.com I question software

v1.2 FAILURE.QualityFrog.com I code software

v1.2 FAILURE.QualityFrog.com I code software that helps test software

v1.2 FAILURE.QualityFrog.com I talk about software
