During my training, I mastered the fundamental principles and methodologies of testing. I successfully acquired the core concepts of functional, regression, smoke, usability, and other types of testing. I developed and executed test cases for various functional and non-functional requirements. Throughout my training, I familiarized myself with essential testing tools such as Jira, TestRail, Postman, and others.
Completed projects during training:

1. Task: The registration function has some changes in the online store "Rozetka." The developer stated that this could affect login, password recovery functions, and potentially related modules.
A decision was made to test how the authorization works in the personal account. Test cases were written for authorization using the main methods and several negative test cases for authorization.
Since the changes may affect password updates, two positive test cases and one negative test case were written for this functionality.
The potentially related modules mentioned are the registration of the personal account. Positive and negative test cases were written for the registration of the personal account.
Having performed regression testing, we did not detect any bugs.

2. Task: Conduct usability testing of the Skype application. Describe the usability issues you identified in the form of bug reports (format your improvement suggestions as bug reports, where your expected outcome will serve as the proposed improvement).
We conducted usability testing of the Skype application and identified the following inconveniences:

a) Too Many Settings Leading to User Confusion:
Issue: The application has a large number of settings, which can easily confuse new users.
Suggestion: It would be more convenient to highlight the most important settings for new users, while placing "advanced settings" for more experienced users.

b) Lack of Online Status Visibility:
Issue: Users can only determine if a contact is online after making a call, rather than seeing their status beforehand.
Suggestion: It would be more convenient if the contact's status ("online" or "offline") is visible immediately, allowing users to know their availability before initiating a call.

c) Excessive Use of Emoticons/Visuals and Inappropriate Styling:
Issue: The presence of a large number of emoticons/pictures and the overall visual design make it unsuitable for professional/business use.
Suggestion: It would be more appropriate for the application to have a less cluttered interface with fewer emoticons/pictures and a more professional visual style, catering to business-related communication needs.

3 Task: Create a checklist for testing the "Eldorado" web store at the Acceptance testing level.
Acceptance testing of the application has been conducted, and 10 bugs have been identified. Corresponding bug reports have been created.
I hope that my new job will provide me with an opportunity to deepen my knowledge and skills in software testing. I expect to receive support and training from more experienced team members and have the chance to explore new testing methods and tools. I anticipate that working as a Junior QA Engineer will serve as a starting point for advancing my career in software testing. In the future, I hope to have opportunities for growth, increased responsibility, and more challenging tasks as I continue to develop and gain experience.
