GUI Testing Resume

GUI testing is testing of Graphical User Interface (GUI). GUI testing resume should include method of testing used. GUI testing can be done with manual testing method and/or automation testing method. In manual testing, all the GUI testing is conducted manually. For automation testing method, machines are used. Automation testing is assumed as a more accurate method of GUI testing. However, some companies prefer to conduct only automation testing and some companies prefer to conduct both the methods of testing. In automation testing, though the actual testing is conducted by machines, some functions like test plan and designf are done by a tester. So there are some chances of mistakes.

Testing is a very important factor in the process of development and success of Graphical User Interface. When a GUI tester does testing on a fully developed GUI, he/she checks whether the developed GUI is showing any defects under various conditions from the consumer view point. This eliminates risk of customer complaints about developed GUI. So GUI tester should prepare his resume carefully including the methods, techniques and tools he/she has used to conduct the testing. For example, he/she should include whether he/she has done manual testing or automation testing or both. He/she should also include the automation tools used for GUI testing such as SilkTest, selenium, etc. In addition to this, he/she should also mention the steps in STLC, which he/she has taken for testing.

Here, we will provide you two samples of GUI testing resumes. First one is of a GUI tester who has experience in only automation testing and second one is of a GUI tester who has experience on manual and automation testing. GUI tester can also be designated as GUI QA (Quality Analyst). However, in that case, he/she is responsible for ensuring good quality of GUI and he/she is not responsible for documenting test cases.

Following is a resume of a person having experience in GUI automation testing:
