Nokie Chauke

I have five years of experience in the field of IT, of which three years were in the software testing environment. I am a resolute, hardworking, and self-motivated person, who always takes her time to understand the test object, the entry criteria, and the exit criteria as guided by the test plan. In addition, I am an initiative-taking and self-starter with great attention to detail. Given my solid experience in software testing, I am eager for a Test Analyst position in a challenging work environment.
