Simon Cropp is an independent open-source developer based in Canberra, Australia, best known as the creator and maintainer of Verify. The snapshot-testing library gives .NET teams a practical way to test complex output without hand-writing assertions for every field, recording the output of a unit of work and failing the test whenever that output changes unexpectedly.

Over many years, Simon has sustained Verify alongside an ecosystem of testing and build libraries relied on daily by developers. That sustained commitment has made the project an established staple within the .NET testing landscape.
