SUMMARY

• My first QA assignments started with enjoying the challenge of constructing white box test code to identify subtle defect conditions. The next level of challenge was to apply and permute the test methodologies into mature quality assurance processes. These processes interrogated software applications ranging from Client Server to Application Server both windows and web based. Over 8 years of Software Testing experience with expertise in leading QA team, preparing Test Estimations, defining test strategies, implementing Automation Test architecture and optimizing QA capacity needs across different projects and efficiently driving product quality and promoting leading industry best practices, meeting QA business needs and objectives.
