My overall experience as QA Engineer is 4+ years. Also, some time ago (January 2022) - I started shifting to a new position - Automation QA Engineer (Java). I realized that I like to find ways and approaches to automate routine tasks.
Also I love music. I'm genuinely fond of the process of it's creation.
Total experience - 4+ years: 1+ QA Automation & 4 QA Manual (simultaneously with automation tasks)
QA basics: knowledge of testing techniques and types of testing, knowledge of software development lifecycle, understanding of API testing, understanding using Dev tools
During the course I received a structural information about Java programming language and learned about the features of Java Web development process. A link with other details is provided below:
Testing of web applications: .Net - back-end, React - front-end (mainly desktop, also mobile testing on one of the projects, cross-platform)
Organization and management of the testing process on several projects, creation and writing of test plans, test cases, checklists, design reviews, acceptance and regression testing on a periodic basis
Writing tests in Postman to check the correctness of the implementation of the back-end part
Writing SQL scripts to check processing requests to the database
Bug reports, communication with the team, participation in the improvement of processes on the project in order to achieve good product quality.
