Work Experience
QA Automation Engineer
2023 - 2023
4iG Nyrt.
- Built up an API/performance testing framework using JMeter.
- Communicated with AMQ Broker management console to check if the messages are landed in the right queue and in the right shape.
- Used Kibana to trace the messages across multiple processor services.
Technologies: Java, Apache JMeter, GitLab CI/CD, Kibana, Message Queues, Redis Cache, OpenShift
API Test Automation Engineer
2021 - 2023
Swiss Re
- Co-created an easy-to-use, highly customizable, and reusable API testing framework in Java and REST Assured that can be used in various projects to create new test cases for new partners' products.
- Built a framework that is easy to parameterize, which environment to run on, and how many threads to use to run it. It exports the results to an easy-to-interpret visual report and generates a CSV file with the most important data.
- Contributed to constructing the framework suitable for testing systems based on REST API and GraphQL.
- Created a nightly test execution where all the partners' tests are executed on the selected environments. Evaluated the result and reported it to the QA lead each morning.

Test Automation Engineer
2021 - 2023
Lab49
- Built a robust test automation framework from scratch, using Cypress for a complex, feature-rich, and user-friendly single-trade application.
- Scheduled the whole test package to run nightly and evaluated the results of the run each day. If there were some errors, I recorded them in Jira and tracked them until they were resolved.
- Provided, on a weekly basis, code coverage report to the team: later, it was shared with the customer as well to see the progress and how the product is covered with UI tests.
- Built page object models for all the UI components that the tests were using and added a special tag (data-testid) to the used HTML elements to simplify the usage.
- Created a subset of the whole package that touched the most crucial part of the application: "smoke suite." This suite ran on every merge request and functioned as a "quality gate."

Test Automation Engineer
2020 - 2021
Intland Software
- Designed and implemented test scripts using Selenide and Java based on complex manual test cases.
- Maintained and refactored the existing test automation codebase to be more robust and stable and avoid flaky tests.
- Reported and followed up on bugs found by automated tests and found under test case automation.
- Took a major part in executing manual regression test cases before major releases and gave the QA manager feedback about what to improve in the test cases to be more specific and easier to follow.
- Monitored and evaluated nightly automated test runs and created reports from them for the test automation manager for better understanding.
- Enhanced the existing Selenium Page Object Model-based structure and created reusable components to make maintenance of the automated test cases easier and avoid code duplication.
- Extended the end-to-end test harness and created new methods so it can now check email messages received from the application and validate its content.

Experience
Enhancing Existing End-to-end Test Harness For Intland GmbH
There was an existing test harness for Intland GmbH to create automated test cases for CodeBeamer ALM.
Since I joined the team, we have implemented a way to check the received emails from the application.
The framework has been improved so that screenshots will be automatically generated and saved from the whole page in the case of test failures.
I also improved the structure, increased the number of reusable components, and introduced a flexible screen compare solution for UI heavy validation.

Created E2E Test Harness for a Single Trade Application
With an average development team of 8 people, we built a single trade application in React in one and a half year. We started with 12 and ended with five. I was the only one responsible for the E2E test coverage. With the help of Cypress.io, I managed to achieve 70% code coverage by joining eight months after the project started.
API Test Framework for Insurance Product
https://www.iptiq.com/A large insurance company developed an IaaS product in-house that other insurers could buy, and their customers or call center colleagues could sell insurance through this product.
Another QA colleague and I ensured that the individually configured products were tested at the API level. We created a robust, easy-to-use, extensible, and well-maintainable API test framework in Java with Rest Assured that was able to run tests on multiple environments in parallel using GitLab. The system was designed to allow us to easily create tests for future modifications and sub-products tailored to the needs of new Insurance partners.
