Summary
Sandra Meyer is a result-oriented Senior Test Manager with a re-markable hands-on-mentality. Based on 10 years testing experience, mainly in testing projects concerning data-intensive applications in finance and logistics, she possesses a wide range of tool and method knowledge.
She is iSTQB Full Advanced certified and was additionally involved in research of methods and standardization for test data managment and model-based testing (e. g. an EU research project, expert groups
iSQI and ASQF) beside her common project work.
"Her strength of purpose, her communication skills and her solution-seeking attitude prove themselves especially in challenging project environments."
Test Management
Her strengths in test management lie in planning and coordination of operational tasks beside the parallel implementation of a professionalized test procedure. She has already established test processes several times in running testing projects with an optimized testing procedure and introduced various tools and sub-processes (e. g. change management). Her modified test process were always planned and implemented with great importance to the test performance and an ideal integration of other involved areas such as business departments, architecture and development.
Test Data Management
Her strengths in test data management lie in the implementation of high-performance, audit-proof provisioning processes as well as in the functional and test-methodical optimization of test data design. For example, she developed and established a test data design tool and generator, a test data anonymization process and developed a program for model-based generation of test data. As part of her work in the iSQI or ASQF special interest group „Test Data Management“, she contributed to the standardization of test data management.
Test Automation
Her strengths in test automation include backend and interface test automation and the development of test automation frameworks, wrappers, and other test tools. She worked e. g. on the development of a Model Based Testing Tool for generating test cases from abstract test cases and requirements modeled in UML. As part of her work in the special interest group for test data management, she also developed a program for the model-based generation of test data.
