Summary

In my role as a QA Automation Intern, I worked to improve the quality and efficiency of the software Quality Assurance process at J.D. Power. I wrote test cases, developed test automation code, and identified software quality issues. On one occasion, I figured out a way to automate the process for setting up data in the QA software environment, enabling end-to-end test automation and multiple overnight test runs.
