"There is no doubt that 2010 was an outstanding year," said Most Valuable Tester Winner Brian Rock. "uTest matured in leaps and bounds over the previous year. As a result, the complexity of the projects that I have been involved in has also increased significantly. This has given me various new opportunities, such as developing some rather complex automation frameworks, in addition to honing my exploratory testing skills. Having this level of exposure to so many technologies is extremely valuable and the experience has been utterly exciting!"
