About Ray Aela

Expert Software QA Engineer improving software performance with ease. Learning everything, regardless of difficulty. Proven track record of being a great Software QA Engineer and always going above and beyond, doing way more than what\'s required, to guarantee quality. I\'m relaxed, easygoing, and I get along with everyone. I like quality assurance because I\'ve always had a passion for tech and I like working with smart people. I like to break things and I like to improve the users\' experience. I chose a QA career because I love finding issues and contributing to creating a quality product. I love working in IT because new technology has always been my passion. In 3-5 years, I see myself still working as a professional Software QA Engineer with deep knowledge of the products and the technology using new tools and automation. I still try to keep up with new education & knowledge in my field to stay as sharp as possible. My current QA team has 16 of us, 3 front end, 5 backend, 2 QA automation, 3 QA (Manual), 1 QA Manager, and 2 Designers. The QA to Developer ratio at my current job is typically 1 QA to 3 Developers. On a regular day, I write about 5-7 bugs, but if we have new features or pages, it could also be more, like 10-12. I usually execute about 50 test cases per day if I don\'t have other tasks to work on. Depending on the day and the tasks, I write between 0-30 test cases per day. My day usually starts at 9 am and ends by 1 pm. Yes, I\'m that fast. Then I normally ask around to see if anyone else needs help with anything before leaving work for the day, which usually consists of just closing my computer since I\'m mostly remote. If there\'s anything else you want to know, please, don\'t hesitate, feel free to reach out to me anytime. I\'m always available to help you with anything. Have a wonderful day.Similar Job Titles QA Analyst QA Tester Software QA Engineer Manual QA Software quality engineer Quality assurance analyst Software Quality Assurance Analyst Functional QA Black-Box Tester QA Engineer Functional Tester Black-Box QA Manual QA Analyst Test Analyst QA Engineer Quality Assurance Engineer Software Test Engineer Quality Assurance Analyst Quality Assurance Engineer Software Quality Assurance Engineer SQA Engineer Software Quality Engineer UI Tester Non-Functional Tester
