About

My name is James Christie. I am a software testing consultant based in Perth in Scotland. My main area of interest is the governance issues associated with testing. I am also very interested in user experience and incorporating usability testing into conventional testing.

Over the last few years most of my work has been related to the Post Office Horizon IT scandal. If that’s why you’ve come here you might like to head straight over to this page, which explains all that I have done and has links to everything I have written.

If you find my work interesting or useful, and especially if you use it commercially, you can support it via Buy Me a Coffee.

My email address is [email protected].

I use Bluesky and my account is @jamesdchristie.bsky.social

I have had a LinkedIn account for many years but have only started using it regularly and seriously since the middle of 2024.

I still have a Twitter/X account, @james_christie, but seldom use it any more.

In case you’re wondering, the photo in the header was taken at Lagg on the Isle of Jura, looking east over the Sound of Jura to Kintyre on the mainland and, in the far distance, the mountains on the Isle of Arran. Mary and I go to Lagg most years.

  8. Hi James,

    I’ve just found your web site courtesy of a link you added to LinkedIn regarding DRE discussion. Unlike the response you received from the author of the OP, I appreciate you putting your thoughts on this subject in to a blog. I’ve added such in LinkedIn as response but thought I’d contact you more directly. From my perspective your DRE blog is very representative of the way I view a lot of “standard” metrics now. I’m going to read through more of your work. Is it John Stephenson you also mentioned (I’m not good at remembering names but have bookmarked his web page). Pretty sure his psychology of testing book will be in my testing library very soon so thanks for that link in your blog.

    Very appreciative of you sharing your thoughts and experiences.

    Regards
    Paul
