Given Masungulo Maluleke
Test Analyst
Pretoria
Summary
I am a Test Analyst with more than 9 years experience in Software Testing/QA. My primary focus is web application (Back-end and Front-end, but also involved API, Mobile App and USSD Testing. I am a team player that enjoys collaboration and interaction with my colleagues, but more productive and at night when no one is distracting me. Problem solving, replicating, troubleshooting and finding defects are all aspects I enjoy as it means there will be less possible defects making it through to production and that I am personally contributing to the overall quality of the product. I am very interested in learning new ways to better improve my knowledge and what I do daily in order to add more accuracy and overall value.
