Nicola Lindgren

“I had the pleasure of supporting Nicola with administration at IKEA! In our encounters, she always took great responsibility, both in her work and for new joiners to her team. She also had great collaboration skills and was a lovely colleague at the office! I give Nicola my warmest recommendation.”

“I worked with Nicola for around two years, during the transition and modernisation of a legacy system. Nicola provided a great amount of valuable advice regarding testing and ways of working. One of her major contributions has been to train and help other testers who were not as experienced with agile and exploratory testing workflows. She's also a very social and friendly coworker, and would be an asset to any team.”

“I worked with Nicola in the same team for a year, during this year she showed dedication and hard work, she always looks for improvements and she added value to the team. I always look forward to working with her.”

“Working with Nicola is one of the most enjoyable experiences in my career. I had the pleasure of partnering with this ambitious software tester while we were both working as consultants to eBay. Nicola and I were paired together to work remotely on some rather aggressive projects to release new mobile and web features to the FRITES markets (France, Italy and Spain). Our language, marketing and testing skills were put to the test to help US teams deploy new features to these vital European markets on time and on budget. Few can match Nicola’s attention to detail and relentless efforts to challenge product behaviour... not simply against expectations, but also at a market and cultural level. I watched Nicola provide our project business units with extensive research into the target markets, and make recommendations based on reliable data on consumer habits and preferences. Her approach to testing does not simply help support the product to meet the predicted user expectations, she offers disruptive test approaches that can help product management teams rethink their market assumptions and look for additional opportunities. I strongly recommend Nicola for any team that is looking for a test consultant who is aligned with longer term business vision and objectives.”

“Nicola is one of the most thorough testers I've worked with. She always found the most interesting edge cases, and took her job very seriously, and was also very helpful in describing detailed reproduction steps for any bugs she found. She's a very open, and cheerful person which makes it very easy to work with her.”

“Nicola's communication skills and enthusiasm for the quality of the product are second to none. Nicola came onto our team at Vend nearly a year ago and instantly made an impact. She fit perfectly into our fast paced delivery environment and her broad knowledge of testing methodologies and techniques were a highly appreciated asset for us. Nicola not only brings her broad knowledge of software quality, but also brings to the table (quite literally) a wide variety of snacks and treats that delight our hard working teams. Her bubbly personality galvanises the closeness of her team and they noticeably work harder for each other as a result. I have no doubt that Nicola will have an instant positive impact on any team she joins and will be sorely missed here at Vend.”

“Nicola and I work as QAs for Vend but in different cross-functional teams. She is superb at getting into the skin of the application she tests. An avid testing blog writer, her knowledge about Software Testing and her desire to share it with the testing community is worth appreciating. She is a great asset to the team and a delightful person to work with.”

“Nicola brings positive energy and ideas to teams. She is passionate about improving testing and embedding the testing mindset into all testers she works with. During my time working with Nicola I was impressed by her can-do attitude, ability to collaborate and adaptability.”
