Software test engineer Review

Daily stand-up meetings where tasks completed the previous day and plans for the day ahead were discussed. I would pick up testing tickets and sync with developers, create a test plan and carry out testing of the feature developed. This was usually some manual testing and sometimes adding a regression test / end to end test.

I was responsible for picking up my own tasks each day, with some guidance if necessary. There were opportunities throughout my placement to demonstrate responsibility

I learnt a lot about testing, this was a new practice to me so I learnt about different testing approaches and practices and when to apply them. I learnt how to alter jenkins plans and how to add a typescript end to end test.

The guidance and support provided in my internship was good, in each team I had a 'buddy' who had the same job role as me, so I could ask them for support or ask queries from them. I also had a mentor throughout, to help me with career guidance. I met with my manager on a biweekly basis, so had an option to ask for support frequently

Very friendly office, and the social events were great and widely attended. It was nice to have a group of interns, though I found the whole staff group to be friendly and welcoming

I had a good time on my placement year, and found it to be a nice introduction to the world of work. I feel as though some days I didn't have much work to do, but that was an issue more of workload spread in my department rather than a company wide issue
