About April Gutierrez

Expert in software testing. I have extensive experience in all stages of the SDLC, from concept to post-deployment support. My experience in a wide range of industries has helped me develop a comprehensive approach to testing that is tailored to each organization. My approach to quality assurance goes beyond finding defects and takes a holistic look at the current product, the desired result, and the organization’s overall goals to create a stronger outcome. Creative problem solver. Through my experience working on projects in such diverse industries as commuter rail services, scientific publishing support, PC-based skills certification, and voting software, I can spot and resolve potential issues long before they become a problem. I work across departments to determine the best path forward and create detailed testing plans to not just resolve potential issues but build better products. Career Highlights: Test lead for launch and support of custom-built e-commerce and scientific publication support websites in multiple languages and across multiple platforms Tested train control, signaling, and scheduling software in a Linux environment for major U.S. East Coast and Midwest light rail systems Tested entire suite of online and phone balloting and voting services for a Washington DC-based company Tested custom-built veterinary pharmacy, including integration with an off-the-shelf ERP system
