Quality Engineer focused on optimizing quality assurance processes.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated Quality Engineer with extensive experience in both manual and automated testing, I am passionate about ensuring high-quality software delivery. My journey in quality assurance began with a National Diploma in IT: Software Development, and I have since honed my skills across various industries, including finance and technology.
At Standard Bank of South Africa, I have played a pivotal role in requirement analysis, test planning, and execution, collaborating closely with developers to enhance software quality. My proficiency in test automation tools such as Selenium, Appium, and Coded UI, combined with my experience in API testing using Postman and Swagger, allows me to deliver comprehensive testing solutions that meet business needs. I thrive in Agile environments and am committed to continuous improvement in quality assurance processes.
