Princy Sharma

Test Analyst with over 10 years of experience working in various industries which include Gambling and Casinos, Retail, Talent Management

I combine strong analytical and functional skills in test analyst roles backed by experience working in Web/Mobile applications, Server based gaming, System Integration, Exploratory, and UAT.

Easily collaborate with developers and managers to accomplish milestones. Good history of identifying defects and taking these to closure; ensuring client's expectations are met with high-quality software solutions.

Requirement Analysis

-Attended calls and in-person meetings with product owners and various stakeholders to ensure a clear understanding of user stories and requirements.

-Prioritized asking questions and clarifying doubts to avoid ambiguity.

-Advocated for detailed acceptance criteria. For instance, when a product owner provided a one-line user story stating, "New report to be created," without acceptance criteria, I requested comprehensive details and relevant acceptance criteria to ensure proper test coverage.

Creating Flow Diagrams and Test Scripts/Cases:

-Designed flow diagrams based on requirements to illustrate testing scenarios, ensuring maximum test coverage.

-Developed test scripts, covering both functional and integration aspects.

Testing

-Performed comprehensive product testing, including Functional Testing, Integration Testing, Backward Compatibility Testing, Deployment Testing, and Regression Testing.

-Made real-time testing decisions beyond predefined scripts.

-Example: While testing slot machines, I encountered a pop-up requesting user input. Beyond standard input validation, I tested additional scenarios, such as power loss or network disconnection during the process. These cases were later included in our formal test cases.

Defect Management

-Maintained a strong track record of identifying defects, ensuring product quality.

-Example: While testing a slot machine for the North American market, I discovered a critical defect that led to a hardware change. Placing a phone on the smart deck area unintentionally triggered auto-play, violating compliance regulations.

Cross-Team Communication:

-Collaborated with multiple teams, ensuring smooth integration and issue resolution.

-Coordinated with hardware teams for firmware deployments and worked with networking teams on certificate updates and environment rollbacks/forwards.

-Participated in triage meetings with developers and product owners to address issues effectively.

-Example: I identified a bug where a compliance video ended abruptly when a screensaver activated. Initially marked as "Trivial" by developers, I highlighted the compliance implications, referencing documentation. This led to its reclassification as a "Critical" issue and a prompt fix.

Documentation

-Created deployment documentation for the release team, ensuring a seamless transition to production.

-Maintained test scripts and linked them to Jira tickets for tracking, which proved particularly beneficial during customer audits.
