My name is Barbara, and I am a Manual QA Engineer with over 13 years of experience ensuring software quality in startups, enterprises, and global Agile teams. I have experience in scenarios where QA processes are already implemented, and also in building QA processes from scratch.

💪🏻 Key strengths include:

• Manual Testing: Web, Mobile, API, Database
  
• Test Case Design, Execution & Documentation
  
• Regression testing | Exploratory testing | Black box testing | White box testing | User acceptance testing
  
• Agile / Scrum Methodologies
  
• Defect Tracking & Root Cause Analysis (Jira, Confluence, Git)
  
• API Testing (Postman) & SQL Queries for Data Validation
  

🌱 I’m currently learning/improving my skills on:

• Python
  
• Selenium
  
• Playwright
  
• API testing with Postman
  

⚡I have a proven record of reducing defect leakage, improving release quality, and boosting stakeholders confidence. Beyond execution, I focus on quality advocacy — mentoring peers on testing best practices and ensuring quality is embedded at every stage of delivery.
