Gerard Meszaros is an independent software development consultant and trainer with 30+ years experience in software and nearly two decades of experience in agile methods.

He started doing eXtreme Programming in 2000 and quickly discovered that close attention to test code craftsmanship was essential to keep the cost of change low.  He described his key learnings in his book xUnit Test Patterns – Refactoring Test Code.  Since then he has turned his attention to applying the same concepts to organizing the automated acceptance tests as executable examples.

He has coached teams and taught courses in North America, China, India, Japan and Europe. He is also the CTO and Product Owner of FeedXL.com which provides a web-based diet optimization tool for horses.
