Role Model
My role model is Steve Jobs. Because he was having very innovative thoughts and always proved his thoughts by implementations.
Changes in the industry
I started my career as a Java developer & that time QA was almost a manual process. Later on industry started demanding QA Automation and It was a big gap between Developer & QA. Because NO QA was ready to write a piece of code and NO Developer was ready to do QA work. Now that thinking has changed.
Parting thoughts
Currently I am working as Test Automation Architect. Where I have developed Test Automation framework which facilitate QA to test multiple functionality like web app, database, SSH, web service etc. within a single test cases. So,QA just have to use 1 app for all Test cases. It can use multiple LIB.
Plans for the Future
I can see myself as a technology consultant / Technical Architect in couple of years from now. Because I always love to know know new technology and I always try to implement new technology in my work assignment.
Degrees that Matter
I don't have any certifications. Because I believe read knowledge come when you use.
The Journey So Far
I started my career as a Java developer, worked on latest frameworks Struts, Hibernate, Spring, Jasper reports.
At Nokia L&C I get a chance to work on Test Automation and there I worked on Robot framework, Selenium, QTP, UISpec4J, XMLUnit.
And now developing my own Java based testing framework.
