A PCB Business Card designed for and by a Tester (QA Engineer)

A PCB Business Card designed by a tester, for testers (QA Engineers)

I've always liked the PCB business cards I've seen people design. They often have an interesting story about the why and the how, and sometimes even lead to a job offer as a result!

I wanted to give it a go but couldn't think of anything compelling that was related to my primary industry (QA, Software Testing & Test Automation). Then I saw a recent pong example on Hackaday which made me wonder whether the author had done much testing, and that sparked the idea of creating a PCB business card all about testing.
