During our internship, we worked with the Agile software development methodology from the very beginning. We immediately applied various test design methods, including equivalence classes, boundary value analysis, state transition diagrams, pairwise testing, and use-case scenarios.
In practice, we implemented exploratory testing, smoke testing, and black box testing. Additionally, we trained in writing test cases, preparing test data, and filling out bug reports.

My internship in QA at a startup was an interesting experience that allowed me to develop and apply the testing process from the very beginning on a business project. We have successfully tested almost all the functions of the application, and I have a unique opportunity to apply various test design techniques on a real project. This experience has taught me how to adapt to change and find creative solutions even in conditions of limited resources.
Michael Ocean, CEO of SellMeThisPen.AI decided to hire one of the interns for the company. Michael recorded a video testimonial about working with Mentorpiece:

This internship was both challenging and useful. It trained us to quickly solve problems in a dynamic environment. The lack of structured processes not only created challenges, but also provided opportunities to build and improve our skills. This internship was a milestone in our testing career.
