<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Rob and Jason are joined by Clare Macrae to discuss Approval Tests and how they can be used to quickly test legacy C++ code.</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">  </p> <p style= "padding: 0px; margin: 10px 0px 15px 0px; border: 0px initial initial;"> Clare is an independent consultant, helping teams streamline their work with legacy and hard-to-test C++ and Qt code.</p> <p style= "padding: 0px; margin: 15px 0px 15px 0px; border: 0px initial initial;"> She has worked in software development for over 30 years, and in C++ for 20 years.</p> <p style= "padding: 0px; margin: 15px 0px 15px 0px; border: 0px initial initial;"> Since 2017, she has used her spare time to work remotely with Llewellyn Falco on <a style= "color: #4183c4; text-decoration: none; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;" href="https://github.com/approvals/ApprovalTests.cpp" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">ApprovalTests.cpp</a>, to radically simplify testing of legacy code. She has enjoyed this so much that she recently went independent, to focus even more on helping others to work more easily with legacy code.      Clare was until recently a Principal Scientific Software Engineer at Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre.
