Test Automation

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Helped convincing Client CIO that the project can be delivered from offshore Manila, Philippines based on Automation proposals and past credentials managed the training and onboarding process with 3 levels of assessments (Objective QTP mastery, Objective BPT master, as well as subjective evaluation of trial exercises) where I created online assessments that would randomly select questions out of a large pool of possible questions
