Skill set (26)
Andrew in a few words
I am a proactive test analyst with over 11 years’ experience of acceptance, integration, functional and non-functional testing and familiar with software testing methodologies. I have experience in all the different testing phases in the software lifecycle and good working knowledge of taking a project from the initial functional requirement stage to the final release stage. I have a good knowledge and experience of creating test matrix consisting of test cases, and test scripts. I am well versed with generating test report and reporting tests executed and logging defects, performance testing, retesting and regression testing and preparation of test results for positive and negative flows.
My mastery in ISTQB, SQL, Jira, SRUM & Agile and Azure Devops and programming languages like HTML, CSS, makes me a qualified candidate for any freelance role as a QA Test Analyst.
I have excellent written and verbal communication skills with proven trouble-shooting and problem-solving skills. I have a flexible attitude and I can multi-task and perform well under pressure. I have a methodical approach to work and good attention to details. I can work individually and as part of a team.
I assure you that my knowledge and experience will help me to your serve the organization in the best possible ways.
