As the Team Lead for the Core Product of the Enterprise Business Unit, I've led initiatives that have significantly impacted our operations and success. One key achievement was implementing SIM Tests and Device Readiness Tests, now widely used in Ethiopia. I've prioritized mentoring the QA team, pushing them to attend ISTQB courses and providing materials to enhance their skills. Thanks to their dedication, we successfully introduced the prepay product. I've also introduced innovative practices in API testing, using Postman and Rest Assured to automate tests. Leading the Frontend team, we developed a test data management tool, streamlining quality assurance.
I've executed the end-to-end Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) for our postpaid service, leading to its successful launch. My expertise in system integration tests for RESTful APIs has been pivotal, supporting and connecting various enterprise products.
