Darren is someone who challenges my testing skills by helping me approach a problem differently. One example is participating in his team's testing challenges. I find Darren's approaches to building testing teams refreshing! I love watching Darren try different techniques to identify testing paths and how he is willing to share that information. Darren is an excellent writer and teacher!
