Danny Crone
Danny Crone is a Test Practitioner and Technical Director at nFocus Testing, a multi-award winning software testing service provider.
Danny has been in Software Engineering for over 20 years and although he is a developer at heart, most of his IT career has been spent in Quality Assurance. He is a regular speaker at testing events and has a real passion for Agile and Automated Testing.
Danny is a thought leader in the field of automated testing and has setup automated frameworks and approaches for many different clients. He has also worked extensively within agile projects; observing how the adoption of agile has meant existing development and test practices have had to change. In recent years he has focussed his time on helping organisations to realise the benefits of agile without compromising the quality and delivery schedule of the software being developed.
He loves helping others with their challenges, testing is always tough and he enjoys using technology to drive efficiencies into the test process to help build better software.

Intro
During the last couple of months the nFocus team have enjoyed meeting hundreds of IT professionals at a series of events that include the IP Expo, Test Expo and many more. Whilst manning a stand for several days is exhausting on the legs, it is made worthwhile by the interesting (and sometimes bizarre) questions we’re asked. As you would imagine, the common themes included how testing fits into DevOps and interestingly Agile vs Scrum. This article is going to focus on the latter.
