Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Gustavo
I am an independent consultant and trainer in Software Engineering, specializing in "Requirements Engineering" and "Software Testing". I have over 25 years of experience in the ICT field, collaborating with international, public, and private organizations. I am a member of IEEE, SSTQB, IIBA, TMMi Foundation, and a supporting member of IREB.
I specialized in requirements and testing because every time I worked in one of these specialties, I always needed the other. Both areas are necessary, complement each other, and excellent collaboration can be established between them (in terms of processes and work teams). I have worked in almost all roles in both areas and have had the opportunity to participate, individually or as a team, in all types of projects from a methodological and technological point of view. Among my most significant achievements, from my point of view, are:
>> the development of a complete corporate testing strategy.
>> carrying out requirements reengineering from different sources.
>> developing a requirements and testing management tool to manage hundreds of requirements and thousands of fully traceable test cases.
>> developing operational metrics systems.
>> developing test and project management offices from which project progress can be observed and, if necessary, action can be taken to improve process efficiency or product quality.
When I propose a solution, I aim for it to be as solid as possible. I work using the latest standards, reliable references, and validated research results in each area. This requires me to train and keep up-to-date in both areas and venture into others.
Based in Spain, I carry out my activities in Europe, the United States, and Latin America, both in person and virtually, in both Spanish and English.
