PM@palesamotaung
ISTQB-certified Software Test Analyst with a passion for automation.
South AfricaI am an ISTQB-certified Software Test Analyst with over three years of experience in manual functional testing and regression test design. My expertise lies in defect lifecycle management across web-based platforms, where I have honed my skills in writing reusable test cases, executing structured test runs, and reporting bugs using tools like Azure DevOps and Jira. I possess a strong understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), Agile Scrum methodologies, and QA best practices.
In addition to my testing experience, I have a background in software development, specifically in C# MVC, and I am currently expanding my knowledge in SQL for data validation and API testing using Postman. I am actively upskilling in test automation with tools such as Cypress and Selenium, aiming to become a hybrid manual/automation QA professional. My commitment to continuous learning drives me to build small test projects and explore innovative QA solutions.
