About Me

Thiyagarajan Veluchamy

This is Thiyagarajan Veluchamy, a BE graduate in Computer Science and Engineering from Anna University, and Currently working with Heurion Consulting as Testing Team Leader in Bangalore.

Throughout this period, i have played various roles like Developer, Tester, Technical Support Engineer, Team Lead, Quality Controller, Trainer & currently working with Heurion Consulting as Test Lead. There are many lessons learned through these roles over a period of time.

Why do I need to write a blog?

I love about Technology and help the same to become better by testing the same. According to me, Testing is not just phase of SDLC and but its part of everyone’s life. Good skills in testing helps people to take better decisions at the right times.

Everyone in the universe is a tester. Many people are doing testing in their daily life. Some of them are implied and not known.

Through this blog, I will be telling the importance of Software Testing in the technology development and how the same helps to make it better. Finally it helps me to improve myself.

What do I write here?

Testing is a process followed to make things better. It helps to take informed decision by providing the relevant information based on the content.

I use this blog to tell the world about my views, thoughts & experiences with Technology and Software Testing.
