Experience

Web Testing Framework

https://github.com/Deift/protractor-cucumber

This is an example framework that I built using Protractor and Cucumber technologies to test the TUI website. It allows a user to test Angular and non-Angular websites and includes a tool to generate an HTML report from a Cucumber JSON output.

Mobile Testing Framework

https://github.com/Deift/MobileTestingAppium

I built a framework using Maven, TestNG, and Cucumber to test Android and iOS apps. It uses Android emulators and iOS simulators to run the tests and it also includes Cucumber (a Cucumber reporter).

Ryanair Website

I created a framework to test Ryanair's website UI. It was built with Protractor on top of Selenium and Cucumber as a common language to share our test cases with manual QAs and business people. This framework allowed the team to create new test cases hyper quickly and reduce the time spent on maintenance.

Mobile Testing Framework for the Mobile App, Auxmoney Kredite

I created a framework using Java, Appium, Cucumber, TestNG, and Selenium hub to test the app, Auxmoney Kredite, on iOS and Android devices while simultaneously generating an HTML report with the results.
