Position: QA Engineer

English level: intermediate
Years of experience: 6

Since 2016 I have been working in a small product company PPL 33-35.
Initially, the company did not have full-fledged testing, except for a superficial check by the technical support department.
The development was carried out on the basis of urgent requests or uninformative technical specifications.
Thanks to the openness of the leadership to the new, many of my suggestions were implemented.
We have achieved more detailed technical specifications and layouts. Each task went through the stage of analysis and testing.
The introduction of a full cycle of testing had the most positive impact on the product.
Significantly reduced the number of urgent work to correct errors.
I managed to establish high-quality communication with the departments of management, development and technical support.
Subsequently, since 2019, the company singled out testing as a separate sector, thanks to which I was also able to gain training skills for another employee,
distribution and planning of work within the department, delegation and quality control of the work done.
