Nat Pryce certifies that Steve Freeman is, at a minimum, qualified as a master, capable of innovating in the skill test-driven development, based on this evidence:

Steve was one of the pioneers of test-driven development in the UK programming community and one of the people from whom I learned the practice. I have worked with him on open-source and commercial projects. He always impresses me with his ability to find a way to fit unit-tests around code that I would give up on.

He was one of the originators of the Mock Objects technique and, along with myself, is a co-author of jMock.

He was an early adopter of the FIT framework and has presented and taught courses on testing with FIT.

His work on Mock Objects shows Steve is capable of innovation. I've seen him give presentations at agile conferences and have had the pleasure to talk with him a couple of times.

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