I am a professional person, who is confident and hard working. I am outgoing, positive and an enthusiastic individual who works well with others and on my own, depending on the required situation. I am a qualified ISEB Foundation level software tester with over 20 years testing experience. I have extensive knowledge and experience of writing and executing test scripts, both manual and automated as well as having experience of leading various projects as the Test Co-Ordinator/Test Team Leader and Test Manager and I have worked in both Waterfall and Agile environments and I have extensive SDLC experience, coming from a development background. I consider myself an expert in the use of HP Quality Center 9.2, both as a user and as an administrator of the tool and I have provided training on the test tool to various company employees. I also have extensive knowledge in TestDirector and T-Plan. I have used a number of automated test tools, such as QTP and WinRunner and I am currently getting involved in using Selenium and other open source test tools. I can create and extract data using SQL proficiently within TOAD, Oracle and other SQL tools. My current role, has allowed me to implement a test process for the company to use, including getting testing involved at an earlier stage in the project lifecycle as well as writing the documentation needed to support the process and role.
