As a Software QA Intern at Expleo, I am part of the IT Quality Assurance team, which plays an important role in ensuring software is reliable, stable and meets business requirements.<\/p>

The team identifies defects, tests functionality and works closely with development and business teams throughout the software development lifecycle.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the most exciting projects I have worked on has been testing a large-scale loan management system. I gained hands-on experience in functional and exploratory testing while helping ensure new customer-facing features worked as expected.<\/p>

Working alongside developers, Business Analysts and senior testers also gave me valuable exposure to Agile ways of working and helped me understand how different teams collaborate during a project.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What challenges have you faced, and how did you overcome them?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I joined the internship without a formal software testing background, so adapting to the technical concepts and structured testing processes was a key challenge.<\/p>

I overcame this through self-learning, asking questions, shadowing experienced testers and practising writing and reviewing test cases. This helped me build my knowledge and confidence.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is it like experiencing your first corporate job<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Although this is not my first corporate role, starting an internship in Software QA has been a unique experience. I have had to adapt to a new way of working, including Agile practices, daily stand-ups and collaborative testing.<\/p>

The experience has challenged me to step outside my comfort zone and develop in a new field.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Fully embrace the learning experience. Expleo provides a strong environment for growth, with experienced and approachable professionals who are willing to support you.<\/p>

Ask questions, stay open to learning and make the most of the opportunities around you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
