I Test With Heart™ because behind every workflow is a real person trying to get something done.


Pearl Christie

WELCOME!

Hi, I’m Pearl Christie — a Senior Software QA Analyst, QA Lead, and QA/BA hybrid with 12+ years of experience making sure systems work for the people using them.


Over the last 7 years, I’ve tested Salesforce and enterprise system solutions across 5+ industries—from e-commerce and real estate to nonprofits and solar energy. I’ve led UAT, supported cross-functional teams, and asked the quiet questions that drive better outcomes.


Test With Heart™ is my personal space to reflect on how I work — with care, clarity, and calm. 


Here, I share real-world insights, walk through how I think and test, and highlight the human side of quality. Here is where I talk about thoughtful QA, grounded in people and purpose.


Whether you're here as a collaborator, a potential employer, or a fellow tester seeking a human-centered lens — welcome. I'm glad you're here.

What Matters To Me

My Philosophy

Why I Test With Heart

Why I Test With Heart

When it comes to testing software, I take a human-centric first approach because software should let people feel empowered not frustrated.


I always start with how the software serves or will intend to serve the needs of the user, customer, and end-client - because businesses don't exist without them. 


I learn the business's context, its boundaries, and intended goals so that I test software solutions with both business and users' goals in mind. 


I test software early and often to identify gaps that can help improve the product's quality.

Quality is a mindset. I pro-actively analyze and vouch for better quality at all levels, from the organization, to the team, product, and user level. 


I believe great software isn’t about passing tests — it’s about helping someone do their job better, faster, or with less confusion. Testing should reflect that. I bring empathy to testing because real people rely on what we ship.


Whether I’m validating a workflow, helping shape user stories, or leading UAT — I aim to protect the user experience while ensuring business logic holds up under pressure.


Most importantly, quality is never achieved alone but through strong teamwork, that encourages collaboration with a laser focus on delivering software that matters.
