Testimonials

Comments made by Managers, co-workers, and friends over the course of my development career.

"Hey Debra, I had my first deep dive into the jason file creator you created. I just wanted to tell you what a great job you have done especially with your new auto header creator. It perfectly creates the headers and sets up the sheet which allows me to get right to work on the ANSWERS. Since it creates the jason files completely consistent with the TestManager input examples, we can’t miss which allows us to focus on getting the programmer to program the right answer. Today with your tool I created jason files for TestManager and ran them with a couple hours of layout work. That same task with my limited programming ability took me over two weeks to write and debug tedious VBA code just to get to the point where I could start checking answers. Great job and thank you. This is a great productivity improvement tool."
