Sharmila Samant

I am an experienced IT Quality Assurance professional with over 9 years of expertise in manual testing across web, mobile, and enterprise applications. My career has been marked by a commitment to delivering high-quality releases through meticulous test strategy, execution, and defect lifecycle management. I pride myself on being detail-oriented and a collaborative team player, dedicated to continuous improvement and QA excellence.

In my recent role as a Test Lead at SonyLIV, I led the end-to-end QA strategy across various platforms, including web, mobile, and OTT. I managed functional, regression, sanity, UAT, and compatibility testing to ensure that our products were production-ready. My ability to direct sprint-level QA planning, mentor junior testers, and coordinate with cross-functional teams has been instrumental in meeting tight deadlines and maintaining quality benchmarks.

Throughout my career, I have implemented QA process improvements that significantly boosted test efficiency and reduced costs. My experience spans across various domains, including OTT and trade finance, where I have successfully managed QA for complex applications. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to enhance service delivery and proactively mitigate risks by identifying defects early in the development process.
