Alisha Foster

I have a lot of back-end and front-end testing experience and have worked with web-based and mobile applications. I've worked with API, SQL, stack trace logs, and UI testing through functional, regression, user acceptance, and integration testing. I have experience testing microservice and Kafka topic flows. I have paired with automation engineers to ensure our automation coverage is where we need it most and critical paths are automated to reduce regression testing time. I also have experience establishing and improving processes for a quality organization that will enhance our product's quality and ensures efficiency. In addition, I enjoy providing mentorship where I can exercise my teaching background and hope to move back into a leadership position. While I do not currently have hands-on experience with automation, I have a personal goal to learn automation, and I would love to work on this.

Regarding project delivery, I have shipped and released several high-quality projects throughout my quality career. This requires clear cross-team communication with all stakeholders, feature test planning to raise risks and dependencies, open questions, communicating the testing strategy, and deep, thorough testing with clearly written test cases. Throughout the software development and product development lifecycles, I gather data and track defects from all avenues to learn the areas that need improvement. I utilize this data over time to improve the overall quality of our product by focusing on our customer's pain points. This helps to drive discussions with product, engineering, and design with customer advocacy in mind.
