[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On November 26, 2015, I joined as the 47th employee at Microlise India as a Test Analyst. I started working with Team ‘Jugad’ on the ‘GeoHub’ project. I vividly recall the moment I realised I had to test something without a user interface. I had experience as a black box manual tester, so I pondered, “How?”<\/p>\n

But the answer I discovered to this “how” question was a game changer for me. I learned about the entire software development life cycle, from requirements to deployment, and the icing on the cake was that I also learned about monitoring the deployed product. Over the last seven years, my skill set has progressed from that of a simple manual tester to that of an experienced “software engineer.”<\/p>\n

In 2015, I became acquainted with a number of software industry concepts. TDD, BDD, Test Pyramid, and one engineer, CI\/CD, were among them. I’ve seen all of these ideas put into practice over the years. I consider myself fortunate to be a part of this transition. You are not confined to your role at Microlise; you have the freedom and platform to explore things that interest you.<\/p>\n

Without your teammates and mentors, your journey would be incomplete. I’ve been on seven teams so far, and it’s been a pleasure to collaborate with such a talented group of people. Let me not forget how much I enjoyed the fun, sporting, and charitable events at Microlise India. Microlise makes you feel valued and acknowledges all your hard work.<\/p>\n

It was difficult for me at first not to have the product tested by a dedicated tester’s team. However, I discovered that it is a concept that can be learned and implemented by a developer or engineer if properly trained, and with modern techniques, it can be automated to quite an extent. I had this opportunity here to train people on what testing is for a broader audience and learn from them how to make it faster at the code level.<\/p>\n

Even though I no longer perform testing in a conventional way, I have discovered a better and more effective way to maintain product quality in Microlise.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
