Hard working, reliable and efficient are three best ways to describe Kofi. Working with him at Extreme Live Gaming, for over a year, was a pleasure. He was always a good team player, who ensured a high level efficiency at any task required of him and his team. There were a few times where the team had to work longer hours to ensure all testing routes had been trialed and that everything ran smoothly for launch days. There was never any hesitation on Kofi’s behalf to go the extra distance for the company so that products could be produced when they were promised to our clients/customers. Kofi would be an asset to any team.

I worked with Kofi in delivering some very successful & complex software gaming products. I found Kofi to be very proactive, positive and his technical knowledge is excellent. His attention to detail and problem solving skills were much appreciated within the team. His dedication and hard work was always a motivation for other team members.

      During the training program, different aspects of software testing were covered, breaking down specifications into requirements and understanding how to write feasible requirements. We worked on simulation projects, reporting to project managers and other key members within the project, booking meetings, and arranging meetings if anything was needed.Another project was a big project that had to prepare a proposal on how we would test a system with the number and staff members needed and calculate how much it would cost, then present it to the board members.Whilst at Capita, we worked using different SDLC methodologies (SCRUM, V-model, Waterfall). This all helped to obtain my ISTQB ISEB Foundation Certificate in Software Testing.
