Hi I’m Irfan Ahmad , I write The CheckOps Engineer - the #1 go-to directory for automation testing tech ,tools and trends on modern software testing, automation engineering, and how teams can ship software with speed, security, and scale.
CheckOps started as a small side project to make the testing ecosystem easier to navigate. Today, it’s a growing platform used by testers, SDETs, engineering managers, and teams looking for clarity on testing tools, tech, and trends.
I maintain one of the largest curated directories of software testing tools — over 300 and updated regularly — along with practical guides on modern testing and a monthly newsletter covering what’s new in the world of testing and AI.
I spent 13+ years in software quality and engineering leadership, helping teams build reliable products and scale their testing practices across UI, API, mobile, performance, and security. Much of my work involves leading QA leadership , transformation efforts, enabling teams to move fast without breaking things.
