Alister Scott is a paradev from sunny Brisbane down under in Australia.

He writes a popular testing blog WatirMelon and collects quotes which he loves to use throughout his writing.

"One must never miss an opportunity of quoting things by others which are always more interesting than those one thinks up oneself." ~ Marcel Proust

His particular interest is software testing and how to make testers better testers and programmers better testers, all whilst keeping things as simple as they possibly can be.

He has a collection of over 250 arid plants (many flowering) originating from many deserts across the world.
