About Mark Towle

Over my 23 years of testing I have tested using manual and automated testing tools. As a QA leader, that is passionate about Quality Assurance, I have grown a Quality Assurance organization from a small team of one to an entire efficient QA team of employees and contractors. I have also worked with offshore resources in India, Russia, Southeast Asia and China to create the ability for around the clock testing coverage. When I am acting in a management capacity I am a hands on manager with soft skills, that enjoys mentoring junior team members so that they can reach their full potential and career goals.Specialties: Model Based Test Automation tools - ToscaManual and Automated testingQuality Assurance team creation and mentoringWorking with offshore resources to create the ability for around the clock testing coverageTested trading systems for Equities, FOREX, Derivatives, & Mutual FundsExperienced with testing Oracle and SAP ERP systemsCertified Bose Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Testing tool evaluation, implementation and administration on a global scaleAuthor of a testing tool whitepaperKey note speaker on Quality Assurance and test automation
