I was one of the two candidates hired out of 200 students by S&P Global as part of campus placements. My job as a Quality Engineer was to refine requirements to test plans, design test strategies and perform black box testing.

I actively provided valuable inputs in design reviews and diligently carried out exploratory and usability testing for upcoming products. Liaised with developers and BA's to identify the root cause and priority of bugs.

Effectively dealt with high priority client problems and resolved them on a daily basis. Apart from the expected responsibilities, in my leisure time I started to learn automation in a bid to reduce repetitive manual testing.
