Bereket W.

Reliable software doesn't happen by accident — it happens when someone tests it like a real user would. As a Senior QA Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on manual testing experience, I help businesses ship stable, high-quality releases by catching the issues that could cost them customers, revenue, or reputation — before launch, not after. 🎯 Where I Add Value Manual Testing — Functional, regression, smoke & exploratory testing. Cross-Browser & UI/UX Testing — Consistent experience across devices and browsers Mobile Testing — Android & iOS, ensuring smooth performance across devices End-to-End User Journeys — Testing full workflows, not just isolated features Release Certification — Validating builds are ready before they go live Test Automation (supporting role) — Playwright & Cypress for repetitive regression cycles 🧠 How I Test I go beyond clicking buttons. Before I write a single test case, I make sure I understand the requirements, the user's intent, and the risk areas that matter most. That means: Turning requirements into solid acceptance criteria Covering positive, negative, and edge-case scenarios Building structured test plans and strategies from scratch Manually testing complex workflows with a real user's mindset Reproducing, documenting, and tracking bugs with precision Coaching and reviewing the work of junior QA team members ✅ What You Can Expect Every bug report includes: Clear reproduction steps Expected vs. actual behavior Severity and priority context Consistent, well-organized documentation Retesting once fixes are in Full test case libraries, checklists, and QA docs on request ⚙️ Tools I Use Jira • GitLab • Trello • Linear • Postman • Playwright • Cypress • GitHub Actions • Linux • 🏆 What Sets Me Apart 5+ years of hands-on manual QA across web platforms Cut down escaped production bugs through rigorous manual verification Communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders Take full ownership — from planning through sign-off ⭐ 5-Star Client Feedback "Bereket did an excellent job with meeting our testing requirements. He was professional, had good communication skills, completed his work on time, and provided good documentation. We will definitely have more testing work for him in the next few months when we finish our applications."
