Welcome to Road Less Tested!

I’m Alessandra Moreira, a Quality Engineering leader, software consultant, and co-host of the Engineering Quality podcast. With over 20 years in the industry, I’ve helped teams scale, transform, and embed quality engineering into their development practices.

This Substack is where I share insights, lessons learned, and unfiltered thoughts on quality engineering, automation, leadership, and the evolving role of quality in modern software development.
