Zsuzsanna Major

Software Tester

I came to testing in 2026, after fourteen years as the only technical person in a two-person architectural practice. My job there was the building model and everything generated from it (drawings, schedules, quantities) and most of my work was finding where those had stopped agreeing with each other, and why.

I qualified as a software tester in July 2026 and passed ISTQB CTFL in August. Right now I am building a manual testing portfolio around a fictional webshop: a specification review feeds a risk analysis, and the risk analysis decides what gets designed and in what order.

What interests me most is the data underneath an application (validation, migration, reporting) and the kind of failure that does not announce itself.

I am new to this community, mostly here to read and learn. Happy to be pointed at anything worth reading.

Zsuzsanna Major is yet to expand their MoTaverse profile.

Here are a few ways you can help them get started:

Tag them in a Moment. Think of a Moment as a blog post. Mention in one of yours so they see they're already part of the conversation.
Invite them to an Event. There are plenty of online and in-person events to choose from. A shared event is an easy way to connect.
Credit them in The Observatory. Share a link they pointed you to, or one they'd value. A small nod goes a long way.
Suggest they comment on a Session, Moment or Insight. Commenting is a good way to find your voice. Give them a reason to jump in.
Point them to the Glossary. Suggest a term they could add, or their take on one. Everyone has an interpretation worth sharing.
Bring them into a Chapter. These are topic and location-based spaces for members to gather. Help them find their people.
