from your description, I think you do qualify, however, the best way to find out is to call PMI and ask. Their phone number is toll free. If you are looking for PMP training down the road, be sure to check out http://www.examspmp.com. Good luck!

I guess the answer is YES. Though only if you can classify your project leadership activities into the five process groups: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling and Closing. Doesn't necessarily have to cover the entire SDLC.

FYI the test lead of one of my previous teams is already a PMP so I don't think it's going to be too difficult for you.
