I’ve led QA for a cross-platform social network (web, mobile, desktop, iOS/Android apps). Initially tested no-code web, iOS, and Android apps, then shifted to Bluesky-based architecture. Key tasks: hired QA team, tested web/mobile apps (cross-browser, WCAG, security), integrations (e.g., iDenfy), wrote Master Test Plan, improved QA/Dev processes, managed Jira/Asana, prioritized tasks, groomed backlog, reviewed up to 5 QA engineers’ work, wrote user stories, and approved releases.
As the QA Manager on the TinyURL project, I spearheaded the integration of quality assurance into the development process. Key Responsibilities: QA Process Implementation and Integration: Initiated and implemented an efficient QA process, seamlessly integrated into existing development procedures. This significantly improved overall development efficiency and product quality. QA Tool Configuration: Proficiently configured and employed QA tools such as Jira and Qase to streamline the QA process and facilitate effective communication among the team members. Scrum Adoption: Actively aided the team in transitioning to the Scrum framework, leading to improved team collaboration, increased project visibility, and timely project delivery. Functional and Non-Functional Testing: Conducted comprehensive functional and non-functional testing to ensure a robust and reliable product. I took a proactive approach to identify potential issues and suggest necessary improvements. Team Hiring and Management: Built a high-performing QA team from the ground up, including both manual and automation engineers. Led the team effectively to ensure the delivery of a high-quality product. Test Planning and Strategy: Created a detailed test plan and strategy to guide the testing process. This strategic planning helped the team to focus on critical areas and ensure all features were thoroughly tested before product release. Outcomes: My tenure as a QA Manager on the TinyURL project resulted in significant improvements in the development process, a reduction in product defects, and a high level of user satisfaction.
