Getting to know us: Bozena, our new QA Engineer

Tell us about yourself.

• I’m a person who cares about people and work. 
• I love to laugh and to make people laugh. 
• I’m a person who has many interests and has tried many hobbies – enough to find a subject to talk about almost anything, with anybody.
• Love challenges and to learn new things.

What will you be doing at spriteCloud?

• As a Quality Assurance Engineer, of course, I will be testing many different projects, websites, programs, and apps! 
• I will also meet a lot of new people and gain as much knowledge as I possibly can by learning from others.
• Providing the best advice/work service to clients, and fellow QA’s, etc.
• Having good fun working together!

How did you get into software testing?

I worked really hard  and I was lucky that I had a manager who told me “tell me what you want and I will try to give you an opportunity to reach your goals,  the rest is up to you.”

Aside from that managers help actually getting into testing, I was interested in testing because I always want to know why. For example, why something failed, and I would always ask questions like “why I’m not getting the results I expect?”, or think “how would I improve it?”, “can it be improved?”, “such a nice product/website/program! But why is loading so long?”

What do you hope to achieve or learn here at spriteCloud?

• Definitely learn automation as I don’t have knowledge about this area of testing, yet! 
• End up in cybersecurity testing industry  (I found it very interesting).
• To become a QA expert, which in the future allows me to share my knowledge with somebody who will need it, as there are a lot of testers who want more but they don’t know how to do it or even where to start. 
• Maybe one day become a QA manager or trainer (we will see what the future will bring).
• Provide the best service which I possibly can with our clients.
• Work on many different and interesting projects.

What do you enjoy most about software testing and what do you least enjoy about software testing?

I enjoy when: 

• A website/program/app is working smoothly, 
• When the application does what it is supposed to do, 
• Good feedback from client/PO/stakeholders that they are happy with results, 
• That feeling of satisfaction after finding and fixing bugs.
• Try to “destroy” as much as possible,  so the client/user can’t “bullet-proof” the product.
• Confident when I present changes. 
• Being able to say “I told you so” to a developer when they say “my code is good”, and I just inform them that I found a bug. 

Enjoying less: 

• Not being involved in the beginning of the change/project and then trying to put the pieces in order to get a better understanding of the problem and solution.
• Waiting(!), not a big fan.
• When I see a bug but “ it is not important to fix.”
• 1 sentence … “it works on my machine!” 🙂

Tell us something that you wish more people knew about you.

• I always protect people who I think need protection.  
• If I say “I promise” no matter what it, is I will do it. That is why it’s so hard to get that phrase out of me. I always do my best to accomplish the task but if I promised something I HAVE to do it (that is why I can’t say “I promise this will be done tomorrow,”  there are too many factors that could potentially not let me finish the task)
• Everything I have is by my own hard work, and I am proud of that.

Thanks for helping us get to know a little more about you Bozena. We are looking forward to working with you for a long time. Keep up the great work!
