Kruthi Revanasiddappa

My software testing career journey is explained in two halves of having a 6+ years’ experience all together. I had a career break in between due to personal and maternity reasons.

During the first phase, Throughout four years five months of work experience [2011 Dec – 2016 May] in HCL technologies Ltd. as a software test engineer, I had gained excellent knowledge and work experience in the field of software testing. I exposed to various testing methods, different approaches, test environments, and domains during work time. I have also used the opportunity to push myself into developing automating tests by writing scripts using Perl, SQL, Shell, BDD. This lead to a promotion as senior test engineer after three years of experience. Working on-site with clients gave me immense confidence to take up new roles and responsibilities as a test lead. During this tenure I worked in Servers and Storage domain in Chennai and Moved to Finance and capital markets domain in Bangalore

With my present experience which is my second phase of career [2022 FEB – until date, Portugal], I am being able to successfully adapt to the new working culture here in Portugal and learn new technologies and computing languages. I was exposed to a new domain (Automotive) and also never before experience with the test run and environment setup with hardware items to support testing of the device software. with my continuous efforts put, I was able to understand the automated process (using TCL and CAPL) and also develop few automated cases for the features owned by me. With this career restart, I am able to push myself to do beyond my capability and proved that it is possible to achieve and excel well.

2014 SPOT AWARD for the outstanding contribution shown towards the project summit consolidation.
