Experience

IoT Test Automation Framework based on Pytest, Selenium, Docker, Flask, and Raspberry Pi

Our local test team needed a modular and customizable test automation framework which will be used as an accelerator for test automation implementations in various projects. It needed to cover end-to-end scenarios including embedded target devices and GUI automation. I developed the framework from scratch and showcased it in a sample project. The framework was based on pytest, Selenium, Docker, and Allure as a reporting tool and utilized Raspberry Pi and Flask Rest API for interaction with embedded devices. The framework is used in two different client projects successfully.

Cockpit of Future

Led test activities in connected a car applications project. The project was technically complex because of the inclusion of many different technologies like Microsoft MCVP, Azure IoT Edge, multiple embedded peripheral devices, and mobile apps. Communication with multiple development teams in different locations, ever-changing requirements and scope increased the complexity of the project. Led four remote testers and reported daily test activities. Total team size was around 40.
