Foot Locker Application Dashboard

Foot Locker is an American chain of domestic merchandise retail stores operating in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Australia. I modified the existing public-facing application, redesigned the internal dashboard features for customer account management, and tested the website and mobile applications to support products.

I wrote test scripts for new features and changed existing ones using Java plus the Selenium WebDriver library. I also tracked and managed defects and generated automated daily reports in Azure DevOps.

Priceline Package Vacation Migration

Priceline.com is an online travel agency for finding discount rates for travel-related purchases, such as airline tickets and hotel stays. I helped the team to perform functional and regression testing for the package vacation project. I also validated all test offers and maintained old scripts using WebdriverIO and the Mocha framework to make them run smoothly.

I wrote test scripts for new features using JavaScript plus WebdriverIO, and I used Jira and Zephyr for tracking and management. I also conducted cross-browser tests using Sauce Labs and manually tested API using Postman.
