About Liaquat Rehman:

As an accomplished professional with 18 years of software testing/QA experience in the financial
services space, my extensive experience, skills and training would add value to your organization, and I am excited for the opportunity to be a valuable contributing member of the team.

In my previous role as a SIT and UAT Test Manager, I gained the knowledge and experience I need to hit the
ground running and start making an immediate contribution right away. The following are just a few
highlights of my professional skills and achievements:

 

  • I have been engaged in test management (SIT & UAT phases) of large complex systems across different countries /locations within Investment Banking, Retail Banking, Corporate Banking, Wealth Management and Private Banking sectors. 

 

  • I have been extensively involved in building test plans and defining test strategies for SIT and UAT testing. I have good experiences in running full test life cycle, end-to-end testing

 

  • Over the years I have gained a lot of experience in setting up and managing test teams, setting up testing (SIT & UAT phases) processes, strategies, procedures, defect management flows and documentation to support best practice

 

  • I have worked on various projects using Waterfall, Agile, Scrum and hybrid methodologies as well as been exposed to technologies which are commonly used by various organizations such as BDD frameworks, Cucumber , SQL, XML, JIRA, Confluence

My resume will show you many others.

I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you to discuss how my background could make a major
impact on your organization's success. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your time.
