Professional Summary

Brad has a considerable amount of hands on experience, along with extensive study of Methodology and procedures in working and managing a Quality Assurance department. Brad worked with black box and white (clear) box testing procedures. I have performed internal and external audits, conducted Management Reviews of Quality Systems, and instituted audit schedules. Brad has developed and implemented document control and document change order systems. I developed test plans and test scripts for a variety of products on Linux, UNIX and Windows (all types). Brad developed test plans and scripts for manual and automated testing utilizing automated test tools (Rational, Mercury, Web Perform, and other tools). Brad have developed automated scripts for functional and scalability testing. Brad developed and implemented test plans and tests as a tester and manager. Brad has extensive experience with hardware and software configuration and networking. Brad has worked with development and on my own with object oriented analysis and design of software products. Brad has worked for small and large companies, with the same end result less bugs, improved test coverage, and less time to release. Brad’s philosophy is for QA to function effectively, it must be involved in the product life cycle from day one, to help define and implement product development processes, which include doing Risk Analysis, Capability Maturity Modeling, implantation of statistical techniques, and training. Quality assurance must interface with a variety of departments, specifically development and sales as equals in order to develop comprehensive test plans and tests that are repeatable and verifiable from the earliest stages of development until the product lifecycle ends. In addition, QA must deliver reliable and accurate documentation and test reports at all stages and must work closely with customers to ensure that the product not only works as designed but the design meets the customer’s needs.
