Test analyst with seven years testing business and web software for a software company in Leeds. Designs and runs the tests that find defects before users do — writing test cases from requirements, executing functional and regression testing, and logging and tracking issues through to fix. Built a regression test suite that cut testing time and caught recurring defects earlier each release. Carries out functional, regression and exploratory testing, manages defects with developers, contributes to test automation, and reports test progress and quality clearly. Strong on both the methodical test discipline and the curiosity to break things in the right way. Detail-focused and protective of release quality. Looking for a test-analyst, QA-engineer or software-testing role on products where quality matters.
