Experience coaching and mentoring a team of QA Engineers
-
Strong understanding and commercial application of both STLC and SDLC
-
Hands-on experience with automated testing
-
Experience across both functional and non-functional testing
-
Commercial experience with Java
-
Commercial experience with Selenium
-
Experience carrying out edge-case testing within a commercial environment
-
Experience designing and maintaining automation frameworks, with extensive use of the Page Object Model
