Website for Financial Investment Control
As a QA engineer, I tested the application's front and back end. While performing a business logic test, my main goal was to check how different calculations work. I didn't create strategies for financial calculations, but I checked already created ones, which included:
• Console application testing by acquiring financial data, cross-rates, and news data from four different data vendors and appropriately updating them.
• A data analysis, which I used to create a data analysis custom report for manual checking and tracking cases with potential issues.
• Automated test verification and support.
