Certifications Received

David Peterson certifies that Ivan Moore is, at a minimum, qualified as a master, capable of innovating in the skill of continuous integration systems, based on this evidence:

He built an easy-to-customise tool to automate the build process on a project he and I worked on at Easynet (BSkyB).

He later released the tool as an open source project "Build-o-Matic".


Nat Pryce certifies that Ivan Moore is, at a minimum, qualified as a master, capable of innovating in the skill writing expressive code, based on this evidence:

Despite having many years of programming experience under my belt, working with Ivan taught me many simple but effective techniques that help me write code that others find easy to understand. My colleagues and I use the term "Ivan oriented programming" as a shorthand for writing code that clearly expresses the "why" and "what" of the system as well as the "how.

Ivan's series of blog posts on Programming on the Small is an authoritative book on programming style -- a Strunk and White of code, if you will -- waiting to be completed.


Martijn Meijering certifies that Ivan Moore is, at a minimum, qualified as a master, capable of innovating in the skill Extreme Programming, based on this evidence:

I had the pleasure to attend presentations by Ivan at a number of conferences and also spoke with a couple of times. Ivan is the creator of the build-o-matic continuous integration server and Jester, the mutation testing tool for Java.

I don't know Ivan well, so this is a low-weight data point.


Jason Gorman certifies that Ivan Moore is, at a minimum, qualified as a master, capable of innovating in the skill Agile Software Development, based on this evidence:

By reputation and through the discussions we've had, plus his innovations in mutation testing and formalising refactoring, and for writing several jolly good tools like Jester.
