Ilia Galperin

I was the QA lead for a startup team. We made an app for the farming industry. Agrigate is a clever software tool for New Zealand farmers that makes it easy to connect and share farm data. I am proud of the reliable quality assurance process I built with the help of my teammates. This enabled us to deliver important updates to our customers several times a day.

As part of the startup team, I managed all quality assurance aspects in the organization and ensured the successful release of the beta version. We built an amazing app that provides a unique opportunity for a user to manage all health-related activities in one place and share it with doctors or other organizations. After nearly eight years, this software is still available for pharmacy and clinic groups in the US, Australia, New Zealand, and France.

As the technical lead, I drove the development of UI automation tools. This solution had unique features that were specific to the organization's application under test. For example, we implemented advanced event-based waiting for elements on the page (no waiting in seconds), this dramatically reduced test complexity. Another excellent feature was related to the very smooth integration with the company's CI\CD tools, which reduced the load on the DevOps team.

The unique feature of this framework was the unusual implementation of Page Object strategy. This organization was using a 3rd-party web form builder and had around 160 forms. All elements, such as text fields, tables, and buttons on every page, were the same, just with a different text label. I implemented an additional layer with a detailed description of all shared page elements; this reduced page object code dramatically and even enabled some teams to write tests without using page objects at all.
