Software QA Engineer at Solcellespesialisten AS (November 2024 – Present) As a Software QA Engineer at Solcellespesialisten AS, I am responsible for elevating the quality and functionality of websites and mobile applications through comprehensive manual testing. My role involves creating and executing detailed test plans, developing test cases, and ensuring that each feature functions as intended. I contribute to product development by identifying defects early, documenting issues clearly, and collaborating with developers to resolve them. I am also involved in strategic test planning, where I aim to ensure that testing processes align with project goals and timelines. I enjoy the challenge of optimizing testing processes and ensuring that both web and mobile platforms meet high standards before release.
Software QA Tester at CleanSoft Ltd. (November 2023 – August 2024) At CleanSoft Ltd., I played an essential role in enhancing the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) by driving quality control initiatives. My primary responsibilities included streamlining the creation and execution of test cases for key features, identifying issues early in development, and improving product quality and efficiency. I took an active role in both manual and automated testing, using tools like Selenium and Cypress to automate repetitive test scenarios and ensure robust test coverage. This experience enabled me to gain deeper insights into both functional and regression testing while actively collaborating with developers to address and resolve defects before they could impact the user experience.
Operations Support at Cleoo Ltd. (January 2020 – November 2020) During my time at Cleoo Ltd., I focused on ensuring data accuracy and usability by performing thorough data entry and verification. I validated information within the database, ensuring records were up-to-date and accurate. I also contributed to enhancing the user experience by providing actionable insights into website usability. My ability to accelerate project tracking and keep data organized improved team efficiency, and my active participation in daily meetings helped align team efforts more effectively, boosting overall collaboration and productivity. This role strengthened my attention to detail and understanding of how systematic data management and user feedback contribute to product improvements.
Skills:

• Manual Testing: I have experience conducting comprehensive manual tests, including functional, regression, and smoke testing, ensuring that every feature meets user requirements and is free of defects.
• Automated Testing: I am proficient in using Selenium and Cypress to automate tests, which helps improve testing efficiency and test coverage, reducing manual effort while ensuring the software performs as expected.
• Programming & Scripting: I have a solid foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which aids in understanding the structure of web applications and writing robust test scripts. I also have practical experience in Java for automating test scenarios.
• Database Testing: Skilled in using SQL for validating back-end processes and performing data-driven tests to ensure that the database aligns with application requirements.
• API Testing: I am experienced with Postman and JMeter, using them to verify the functionality and performance of APIs, ensuring that different systems interact seamlessly.
• Test Management Tools: I use JIRA for tracking defects and managing project workflows. I also rely on TestRail for organizing and tracking test cases, ensuring that all tests are executed and results are well-documented.
• Agile & Scrum: My experience working in Agile environments has equipped me with the ability to adapt quickly, collaborate effectively in team settings, and deliver results within sprint timelines. I actively participate in Scrum ceremonies such as sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.
• Version Control: I am familiar with using GitLab for version control, allowing for seamless collaboration with team members and maintaining code integrity across different test environments.

With a focus on both manual and automated testing, I am well-versed in a variety of testing tools and methodologies. I take pride in my ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, communicate testing results effectively, and consistently improve testing processes to ensure the delivery of high-quality software. I am confident in my ability to contribute to any project by bringing both technical expertise and a strong attention to detail.
