Oversaw improvement process for existing and new test cases, including domain’s manual, automation, and performance repositories. Collaborated with developers, project managers, and other stakeholders to lead quality engineering initiatives from inception through completion. - Improved quality, content, and domain’s test case repository organization by discovering gaps, overlaps, and inefficiencies to understand full picture, including cutting total test cases 30–40% by merging test cases, which reduced runtime and maintenance. - Built application map (MS Excel) that organized extensive amount of existing test case repository information, enabling ability to easily and visually pinpoint and address gaps and redundancies, and resulting in other groups adopting template due to proven results. - Drove continuous improvement by continuously promoting customer-found defect incorporation into regression planning, ensuring high-level customer satisfaction through quality-focused delivery. - Led offshore team to build prioritized autotests from existing regression manual test cases, including crafting test case goals and test step validation points, expediting software release by eliminating manual testing time up to 80%. - Migrated company’s repository of 10K+ manual test cases into new Azure DevOps / TFS environment, including writing instructions and tracking progress across 20 teams to ensure thorough completion.- Executed 1-week sprints as senior group team member, quickly identifying and diffusing blockers for optimal team performance.

Designed domain test plans and guided up to 8-member QA team in testing, including acceptance, manual regression, and automation. Tracked test case and defect quality metrics and analyzed data to identify and implement steps needed to improve product quality.- Generated comprehensive, efficient, and prioritized regression test plans while working under constraints and limited resources, such as release date and team size.- Enabled concurrent software releases to customers by efficiently managing up to 6 platforms and 3–4 test plan configurations simultaneously.- Collaborated with team members to define team’s QA best practices, creating new and modifying existing methods as technology and requirements evolved.- Guided new functionality development test requirements by analyzing objectives and technical documentation.- Provided feedback on new functionality about usability, integration, and consistency between domain and other parts of larger application.- Mentored manual and automation testers (3–8 at one time) in executing and improving testing practices, including how to design input data, identify risky areas, and maximize important test permutations.

Developed and executed manual test cases, such as acceptance, smoke, exploratory, regression, performance, and licensing. Collaborated with developers and product owners to resolve defects. - Reduced time needed to fix issues by 1–2 days through concise, detailed, complete defect reporting.

Built, maintained, and executed team’s autotest repository. Reported autotest results for test case runs on multiple supported platforms, concurrent software releases, and several configurations.- Designed and created Java autotest framework / harness for using existing autotest tool, allowing faster test creation and more efficient maintenance and improving code coverage.
