Planit People
Hassan Khokhar,
Test Consultant
"I joined Planit in November 2004 as a Junior Test Analyst and a year later was promoted to a Senior Test Analyst.
As a Senior Test Analyst, I work on client sites as a Test Lead, managing test execution and management.
Depending on the project, I manage teams sometimes up to 10 people.
Testing is relatively new and is growing fast in Australia. Even in just three years it’s grown and I think will only continue to do so."
