There is 100% confidence when they test the iOS and Android app work that everything, including detailed edge cases will be caught. Everyone is so proactive and bring up so many good thoughts and challenges. The team has also consistently made exceptional progress on automation and the behind-the-scenes demos of that work have been so exciting.

Finally, we have to give an extra shout out to Revathi who will exclusively become the BAB Train's QA Manager in PI2. This is a well-deserved promotion as she is already incredible in this most difficult role. We will hugely miss her skill, knowledge, leadership, partnership and great personality on the Android team itself but we know that the remaining team members will not miss a beat!]]> 2021-04-28 14:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sondurkar/uy96npvzq3dii62k/wish/1469411952 revathiramakrishnaniyer https://padlet.com/sondurkar/uy96npvzq3dii62k/wish/1469987187 Izaz has come a long way in the last PI especially after loosing a QE team member in Skuception team early in the PI.
