Hi, I’m Alan Demers, a Software QA professional with extensive experience in automated testing and QA processes. I’ve spent over 16 years building and maintaining automated test frameworks, leading small teams, mentoring colleagues, and performing root-cause analyses to prevent defect recurrence. My strongest programming language is Python, and I regularly worked with TestComplete, Squish, and Slash for automation, complemented by defect tracking and CI/CD tools such as Jira, TestRail, TestTrack/Helix, and Jenkins. I enjoy collaborating with engineers and product teams to improve testing plans and deliver high-quality software in both Agile and Waterfall environments. In recent roles at Ford Motor Company, I helped evolve the UAT function into a SWQA capability, performed manual tests on vehicle software, and expanded automation to real vehicles. I’m passionate about preventing customer-impacting defects, expanding automated coverage, and ensuring that testing aligns with customer needs and product goals. Outside of QA, I’ve mentored new hires and coached colleagues on testing processes and best practices.…Hi, I’m Alan Demers, a Software QA professional with extensive experience in automated testing and QA processes.
