About

I’m Edwin Teran, a QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience validating mobile devices and system behavior, from functional and regression testing to risk-based and exploratory testing. I specialize in mobile device validation and release readiness, including flagship Android device launches and Android OS upgrade testing, where I analyze diagnostic and crash logs to identify issues early and reduce release risk.

I lead multi-site QA execution, manage large device test environments (200+ devices per quarter), and coordinate defect tracking and root cause analysis with software, hardware, UX, and R&D teams. I also mentor other QA engineers, report quality metrics and critical risks to stakeholders, and contribute to automation efforts that improve regression coverage and reduce testing time.
