Hi there,
My name is Catalin Marin and I'm a ISTQB certified test engineer with more than 9 years of experience.
For your projects, I would definitely start with creating a test plan and some test scenarios. After the test plan and the test scenarios are defined and agreed with you, I would continue with exploratory testing on existing functionality and writing test cases which will be a proof of testing and a guide on how to test the application going forward. I am used to working with multiple project development issue trackers such as Jira, Bugzilla, Monday, Trello, etc.
During my career, I've worked on several desktop, mobile and web applications, using both manual and automation testing methods. My latest projects were mainly on automation and performance testing, but I've learned that there's no project where you can build an automation or performance framework without manual testing first. I can provide samples of my work any time.
Since I believe that communication is the key to any successful project, to start things with the right foot, I would suggest to have a chat to discuss about my previous experience and any other details about your project. I am on GMT+2, but I'm available any time since I'm a full time freelancer. Just give me a few hours notice and I'll be available for a chat.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Regards,
Catalin Marin
