Detail-oriented Manual Software Tester with 3.5 years of experience in web and mobile application testing within a regulated banking environment. Executed over 150 test cases per sprint and resolved over 500 defects in JIRA/Xray. Experienced in Agile/Scrum methodologies and cross-functional collaboration, ensuring audit-ready test documentation and contributing to accessibility compliance. Looking to bring the same rigor and reliability to a fast-paced Agile QA team.
• Executed 150+ functional, regression, and cross-browser test cases per sprintacross web and mobile banking applications spanning 6+ browser/OS combinations, helping catch defects before release and supporting consistently on-time sprint sign-off.
• Performed dedicated accessibility (WCAG) testing on HSBC's core banking application, identifying 30+ accessibility defects across sprint cycles and helping move the product closer to inclusive-design compliance for visually impaired users.
• Logged and managed 500+ defects in JIRA and Xray over 3.5 years, collaborating with developers to maintain average defect turnaround under 24 hours during active sprints.
• Contributed QA insights in 100+ Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews), identifying risk areas early and minimising late-cycle defect escapes into regression.
• Authored and maintained test documentation — test cases, execution reports, and requirement-traceability records — achieving 100% requirement-to-test-case traceability for audit and compliance review in a regulated banking environment.
• Owned exploratory testing for new feature releases, uncovering edge-case defects missed by scripted test cases and feeding findings back into the regression suite to strengthen future coverage.
• Earned ISTQB Foundation Level Certification and applied structured test-design techniques (equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis) to improve test case efficiency.
