Summary

With over 9 years of experience in web testing and mobile application testing, I have developed a strong understanding of various testing methodologies, including black box, smoke, functional, regression, UI, system, user acceptance, compatibility, and end-to-end testing. I am proficient in both Agile (Scrum) and Waterfall methodologies. Throughout my career, I have consistently produced comprehensive test documentation, including test plans, test cases, and test suites. I am skilled at generating clear and reproducible bug reports and diligently tracking their resolution. As a collaborative team player with excellent interpersonal skills, I thrive in collaborative environments. I have a natural aptitude for quickly learning new technologies and grasping challenging concepts, allowing me to effectively implement them.
