Test Cases Engineer
Resume:
Dear Recruiter
I’m submitting my enclosed resume for your kind consideration. I have a Bachelor’s degree in commerce, ISTQB certification, Scrum Master certification and relevant experience in testing. I have excellent application knowledge of various methodologies like STLC, SDLC, Waterfall and Agile. Very recently, I was responsible for implementing JIRA for my entire onshore and offshore team.
My role involved leading all the testing activities in my organization & defining the standards and methodologies for the projects. I was also involved in the Change Management Process and represented Canada Technologies in the Weekly discussions. For one of the benefits project – Flex Plus, I was responsible for taking over the role of a BA for a short time as the project had no BA. I created the business requirement documents and use cases for some modules.
I’m looking forward to have an opportunity to meet you in person and better explain how my skills and knowledge can be of use to the organization.
Thank You
