What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values quality assurance and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am Nompumelelo Jane Magagula, a seasoned professional in the testing domain with extensive experience in various roles across industry-leading companies. My journey began with an N. Dip IT in Software Development from Tshwane University of Technology, and I have since earned certifications in Salesforce Administration and AccelQ Automation. My expertise lies in SAP testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), and project coordination, making me a valuable asset in any testing environment.

Throughout my career, I have held significant positions, including my current role as SAP Test Manager at Reckitt, where I oversee end-to-end testing processes across multiple software platforms. My previous experience as a QA Engineer Lead at Absa allowed me to coordinate testing activities and drive UAT for Salesforce projects, ensuring that deliverables meet business requirements. I thrive in Agile environments and am proficient in tools such as HP ALM, SoapUI, and Postman, which I leverage to enhance testing efficiency and effectiveness.
