KEY SKILLS AND STRENGTHS
Ability to prioritize tasks – My career at TCS has given me ample opportunities to work as a delegate lead
which has helped me understand the needs and merits of prioritizing tasks. What to be tested, what to be
given less priority - which task to be automated,which to be tested manually – Which task to be taken up first
and what can be left to be done at the last etc
Never shy away from asking questions – As a tester i have always taken the step to get all my doubts
clarified with Business, SME’s, Dev or Seniors inorder to understand the requirements clearly, study the
software under test, understand the architecture, understand the business behind the requirements, the reason
and fix for the bugs etc
Think outside the box – I believe there are more than one solutions for the same problem. I have always tried
to to identify new ways or steps for testing scenarios instead of following the same steps that was followed
from the beginning.
Do more than what is expected of – Instead of just executing scripts i have used my time to analyze the logs
and code to understand how the system works which has at times helped me suggest the cause of defect to
Dev
Flexible - Always willing to go above and beyond to help the project completion and work with Dev and
other stakeholders to help reproduce and troubleshoot the issues.
Curious and Quick Learner – Curious in nature and can grasp the concepts fast.
Think from End User perspective – Always analyze the software from Customer perspective. Have at
multiple occasions addressed issues to BA that i felt wasn’t user friendly which were escalated and adresed at
higher levels.
