Experience
Micro Markets
As a QA lead, my role involved reviewing test plans/test cases/bug and test summary reports, interacting with clients on the project requirements and new features, testing the overall product, and signing off the product for release.
This is one of the most successful projects that I have ever handled. We had almost 92 sprints delivered on time without defect leakages or escalations.
Marketplace
My role as a QA engineer was to interact with and gather requirements from all the clients, develop test plans and test cases, perform the testing, and sign off the product for release.
The project was of high priority with very short duration as this can be used to attract other clients to the marketplace. I delivered this project on time without any defects, which brought more clients to the organization.
