Project History
Cypress UI E2E Test Automation
I developed UI E2E test automation for various projects with a test coverage of up to 90%. I also did test setups and data cleanup using APIs to create faster and more reliable tests. Data setup was done on REST and GraphQL APIs.
Test Cafe/Supertest UI E2E Automation
I implemented UI/E2E automation in the Test Cafe framework. I created a hybrid TestCafe-Supertest framework for E2E UI test automation up to 90% of tests. Also to handle date set up/clean up and to create API test coverage up to 100%. This setup covered simultaneous multi-browser testing that even included the outdated IE11.
REST and GraphQL API Test Suites
I developed complete regression test suites on REST and GraphQL APIs and created test coverage of up to 100% in some cases. By implementing API test automation, I significantly reduced the time needed to execute test automation scripts in the CI/CD and increased the automation reliability.
Protractor E2E Test Automation
I did end-to-end UI testing using Protractor/Cucumber frameworks.
