Gemma - Day in the Life

Gemma - QA Engineer (Hungerford, UK)

Describe a typical day

I determine the range of tests to carry out from the specification or the replication document and also based on knowledge of the systems functionality and how the customers will use it.

Occasionally changes are also demonstrated to the customer either via screen share and conference calling or in a face to face meeting, so I also get to demonstrate the functionality which I have tested.

The other staff members are amazing here and it quickly starts to feel like you are part of one big family.

Greg - Day in the Life

Greg - Product Architect (Houston, USA)

Describe a typical day

Most days begin with a brief discussion with the developers on my team to review progress from the previous day, resolve issues, and set priorities for the day.

I may meet with Account Managers to review implementation questions and issues, or to discuss modification/enhancement requests received from customers. I could also meet with Customer Service Reps to guide them on how to research and resolve a customer support call involving one of our new applications.
