Hello testing world, I read a few topics here (very interesting, btw) since my sign in on May but I didn’t took the time to introduce me. Shame on me. But I am french, so you may forgive my rude manners as part of my culture, hum? Last introduction from Florence and greetings from Stephane made me realise that I am not the only froggy here so I feel mor at ease. I went to testing by chance during a project management internship in a web agency. And it happens that I finally like it a lot more than making Gant diagrams and explaining to the client why we won’t be on time and why it is so expensive, etc. I love proling around a product and trying all sort of weird journeys to see what happen if I do this or that. I now am a functional tester (tne first and only one) in a Michelin’s compagny (you know, the french tyre manufacturer) that operate most of the e-retail websites of the group. So I do a lot of manual test but I also try to automate most important things and also keep an eye on velocity and performance, as well as I try to get the production process better (shadow part of the job). And it’s a very good position but I sometime lack of other QA profesionnal to talk with. And I hope my english skills do not completely dismiss me from future posting. I misuse it on a daily basis and still feel I am mumbling. Sorry for the long post, here is a potato-growing-plant in a tyre ![operation-pneus-006-400x300](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ministryoftesting/original/2X/1/1b224dd86b4ece7643bd1d2c278617ec13d8ff39.jpeg) ---

Welcome Boris! I can relate to this : > it’s a very good position but I sometime lack of other QA profesionnal to talk with. Given the number of frenchies, we could start a French connexion 😉 ---

Off course not! Patatoes come all sliced and already fried ans salted. Belgians can testify. ---
