Could you tell us briefly about your family background?
I belong to middle class family. My father is a farmer and my mother is teacher in Govt. School, who worked hard to finance for my and my brothers education. We are three siblings, 1st my elder brother, who works for an US as head for Centre of Excellence, and 2nd my sister, got married 4 years ago.
Role Model
Mr John Case (Ex CEO & President of Electrolux US). I met him during my MBA, he is gem of the person. His philosophy of FAT (Focus, Accountability, and Team work) is impressed me a lot, which is an practical approach to get things done on time in any organization.
Essential Advice
Organization is like pyramid, and Quality is base. Testing is the method to verify the quality. Always keep in your mind that you are the only exit gate, which assures the deliverables are met quality standards and customer's expectations. This is the only career which has 360' view on deliverables.
Degrees that Matter
Understanding of domain and analytical skills is the key for QA & Testing. However CSQT is well accepted certification for software testing across the industry.
Most Important Lessons
Focus on customer, understand their need and achieve the objective with team work. Never assume things, read carefully customer's requirement and ask questions if not clear.
Parting thoughts
You are the president of your work. Do your job with ownership. Your objective will be met for sure.
