As a manual software tester, my job is to find the bugs others miss (or don’t even know exist). I write test cases, explore features, push boundaries, and then gently let the developers know that “this part probably doesn’t work exactly as described in the specification.” I mainly work on banking projects, where precision, security, and clarity are key. In my daily work, I rely on tools like Jira, Spira, and Zephyr to manage test cases and bug reports, and use Swagger to browse and verify API documentation: because bugs often hide between the lines. Thanks to my background in design, I don’t just check if something works, I also care whether it feels right to the user. When it comes to bugs, there’s no escape. I’ll find them: sometimes with an axe or throwing stars or cross but most often with a well-aimed question.
Here’s what I specialize in:
manual functional testing on web and mobile platforms
regression and exploratory testing
considering accessibility standards and inclusive design
spotting usability issues and edge cases
creating and managing test cases and bug reports (Jira, Spira, Zephyr)
using Swagger to explore and test APIs
writing user manuals and technical documentation
handling client-reported issues and clarifying bugs
providing training and product guidance for clients
working closely with UX designers, developers, product managers and product owners
