Software Quality Engineer
Yahoo!

I designed test cases to cover 100% of commonly known user query patterns, and a reasonable percentage of ambiguous queries by mining query logs. I also developed and documented a series of troubleshooting steps and coached other employees on how to efficiently troubleshoot, triage, and report issues, non of which was impossible without understanding the entire software architecture and having the people skills necessary to communicate tasks and issues effectively.
