Ktari Rana

A QA engineer with over 7 years of professional experience in quality assurance and software testing, with a solid background in both manual and automated testing across web, mobile, and embedded systems. 

I began my career as a Test and Validation Engineer at TELNET, where I worked on banking and payment applications. 

My responsibilities included writing and executing test plans and test cases, performing functional and non-regression testing, defect tracking using JIRA, and developing automated test scenarios using Robot Framework and Python.

Later, I joined ACTIA as a QA Engineer for aeronautical systems, focusing on validating system specifications and ensuring traceability between high-level and low-level requirements using tools like SCADE and custom TCL scripts. 

I was responsible for writing, reviewing, and executing test scripts, analyzing test results, and ensuring compliance with safety-critical design standards.

Currently, I’m enhancing my skills through freelance testing with uTest (Applause), where I conduct exploratory, usability, and regression testing on real-world products across multiple platforms. 

I’ve also joined a software testing training program at ESPS, where I’m preparing for ISTQB certification and gaining deeper experience with tools like Jira/Xray, Mantis, and Katalon.

Throughout my career, I’ve demonstrated strong skills in writing clear test cases, identifying and documenting bugs, and contributing to continuous quality improvements. 

My experience spans Agile and V-model methodologies, and I’m comfortable working in fast-paced, collaborative environments.
