I have extensive experience with various software testing methodologies, including Agile, Waterfall, and DevOps. I am proficient in creating test plans, writing test cases, and executing both manual and automated tests. My experience includes working with tools like Selenium, JIRA, and TestRail to ensure comprehensive test coverage and defect tracking.

When a critical bug is discovered late in the development cycle, I prioritize immediate communication with the development team and stakeholders. I ensure the bug is documented thoroughly, including steps to reproduce and potential impacts. Collaboration with developers to resolve the issue quickly is crucial, and I may suggest a workaround if necessary to minimize disruption.

I am proficient in several automated testing tools and technologies, including Selenium, Jenkins, and Appium. I have experience with scripting languages like Python and Java for test automation. Additionally, I am familiar with CI/CD pipelines and have integrated automated tests into these processes to ensure continuous testing and faster delivery cycles.

To ensure product quality before production, I follow a rigorous testing process that includes unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and user acceptance testing. I collaborate closely with developers and stakeholders to validate requirements and ensure all features meet the specified criteria. Continuous monitoring and feedback loops are also essential to catch and address any issues early.

I have conducted performance and load testing using tools like JMeter and LoadRunner to assess system performance under various conditions. I have experience in setting up test environments, defining performance metrics, and analyzing results to identify bottlenecks. This helps in optimizing system performance and ensuring it can handle expected user loads efficiently.
