Project History
Core Migration Project
The project is related to migrating customer contracts, services, and invoices from legacy systems to a new unified solution for Lithuania's largest telecommunications services provider. I was the lead tester on this project, in charge of the overall test process from test preparation to execution and production results verification.
My tasks included distributing the team workload, supporting business testers with user acceptance testing (UAT) activities, and preparing and organizing integration testing with other teams. I also presented the project demo to stakeholders and supported testers and developers with various matters about the project.

API Tests Automation
I created REST API test suits for customer and utility provider management for this project. My responsibilities also covered preparing automated API tests running in Postman for back-end developers and validating responses according to the JSON Schema and the provided API documentation.
eCommerce Web Application
I managed the overall application, stock, and administration system testing, including login and registration, checkout, payment, email receipts, and discount functionality. Furthermore, I prepared test cases, bug reports, testing documentation, and functionality demo for the client.
Self-service App
Android and iOS application for a telecom enterprise. I was in charge of the application improvements testing, including services overview window, invoices review and payments, and subscribers and services management. Also, I created and managed test cases and bug reports.
