Dmitriy “Dima” Kovalenko started his career in software quality assurance in 2003, at then small company called Rosetta Stone. He helped to implement the Agile practices at the company, most of the time creating and developing practices, as very few Agile QA practices have been defined at the time. During his tenure at Rosetta Stone, Dima implemented many testing procedures, bug tracking guidelines and product release procedures, some of which are still used today. He also transformed the testing lab from substandard workplace, to a modern lab consisting of wide verity of computers and operating systems, which reduced the testing costs while increasing productivity many times over.

In 2008 Dima has started a brand new QA department at a small marketing company called Centro. He setup a fully Agile QA department, which is closely integrated into the development cycle and helps to develop high quality software.
