Beth Marshall
Collaborator, Writer and Speaker
Hi. I’m Beth. Lovely to meet you.
I’ve been a Leeds (UK) based software tester for the past 15 years. I have worked on lots of super cool projects, from small scale IoT crowdfunded startups, all the way up to managing testing for the platform responsible for 50% of all global Foreign Exchange (FX) trading.
I’ve recently joined the amazing Quality Engineering Centre of Excellence team at Lloyds Banking Group, where my remit involves upskilling others, increasing the visibility of the bank’s incredible QE efforts externally and API quality. I’m also doing lots of community bits, including public speaking, workshops, podcasts and panels.
I am an active, proud and positive member of the Global Software Testing Community.
I was chosen by my tech hero Angie Jones as one of the “top 10 inspiring women in test to follow” and by Testlio as one of “7 powerful female QA leaders across the globe”. More recently, in 2023 Agile Testing Days chose me as one of their “100 women in tech to follow and learn from” and ThoughtFrameworks ranked me #1 in their “Top 23 Influential Women Ruling QA“.
