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 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.

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

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
