RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
I developed a comprehensive regression
suite using JIRA for a project involving
10 Micro Frontends (MFEs). I established
testing standards and procedures
which are used by the testing team,
which also streamlined the process for
new testers. I authored and maintained
testing scripts that became
foundational resources for both new
and experienced team members. I
created and deployed integration and
smoke test scripts, utilized by the
development and testing teams to
ensure consistent and reliable system
performance and functionality.
I lead regression testing efforts for the
testing team, overseeing both the
manual and automated testing
processes. I utilized the Selenium
regression testing suite to execute
automation scripts, ensuring the
integrity of the software through
comprehensive testing. I am
responsible for reviewing and analyzing
automation results upon the
completion of test cycles, identifying
issues, and collaborating with the
development team to address any
failures. I provided guidance to team
members and contributed to the
continuous improvement of the testing
process. I actively ensured that all
testing adhered to quality standards
and project timelines.
