\u201cFor many women, it’s very hard to find time for themselves, especially if they have a family. More training, support, and free courses will encourage them to restart their careers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here at AngeLink, we always put our end users first. Knowing that our product needs to exceed the user\u2019s expectations, we spend a lot of time testing and improving every release. Thanks to Varshini and other hard-working software testers at AngeLink, we are confident that every new feature works as expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you came to AngeLink, what was your background? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m originally from India, but I moved to the US around 9 years ago. Back in India, I got a bachelor’s degree in Engineering and was working as a QA Tester as well, so I already had some experience before coming here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why AngeLink?  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I was very lucky to find AngeLink. I love my job and learn lots of new things almost daily. Before AngeLink, I didn\u2019t work much with tools like JIRA, Slack, and Confluence; I also didn\u2019t know a lot about Agile. Now, I\u2019m way more confident in my skills and my ability to manage projects. I\u2019m also proud to work for a company powered and created by women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you share a little bit about what it is that you do and what a typical day for you is like? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a bug tester, I do a lot of manual testing at AngeLink trying to find and report bugs. Our team is testing both web and mobile applications. You know, manual testing can be repetitive and time-consuming at times, so I\u2019m trying to learn other technologies as well. Currently, I\u2019m learning how to use Selenium, a popular automated testing framework for web applications across different browsers and platforms. Because manual testing requires a lot of time and effort, I really enjoy working with tools like Selenium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What tools do you use daily at your job? Which one is your favorite and why? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I use JIRA the most. We use that app for almost everything like writing and executing test cases, reporting bugs, etc. For internal documentation, we use Confluence. I love how these two apps seamlessly work together. When it comes to testing, I mostly test Android devices or use a tool called Browserstack to test the builds specifically for iOS devices. Oh, and we use Slack and Zoom to communicate with the team.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is one piece of advice you can give women who are thinking about starting a career in QA? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s extremely important to completely understand the requirements to test applications properly from a user perspective. So, before you start testing anything, focus on the requirements, user stories, and test cases. Knowing the expectations of end-users is extremely helpful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s been the greatest challenge in your professional career? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would say my greatest challenge is to stay on top of industry trends and new technologies. It\u2019s a fast-paced world, so the tools we are working with are constantly evolving.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We couldn’t agree more! And what\u2019s the most exciting part of your job? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mm… I love finding bugs, honestly. It\u2019s almost like a game! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do you think there are still so few females in the technology sector and what can we do to get more women into technology? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel like there should be more resources and platforms for women who want to start a career in tech. For many women, it’s very hard to find time for themselves, especially if they have a family.  More training, support, and free courses will encourage them to restart their careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, what is it like to be a woman working in technology for you? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be quite challenging at times to manage all the household work and find time for myself. On the plus side, it\u2019s a very rewarding career because I\u2019m always surrounded by smart, like-minded women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
