Experience

Java, Cucumber, Selenium, and REST Assured Framework

As a software development engineer in test (SDET), I set up and created the automation framework with Java, Cucumber, Selenium, and REST Assured.

The framework was designed to be easily used by manual testers, business people, and programmers. The idea was the following:
• The manual tester writes the test cases "visually," describing steps of what can be seen in the web and mobile apps.
• The programmer writes the automation scripts based on the visual test cases.

Overall, the speedup of the test cycle was 30% higher than the previous one.

Java, Cucumber, and Appium Testing Framework

My role in this project involved creating Java, Cucumber, Appium frameworks for the mobile web and native app testing as our application was extending to the mobile platforms.

The goal was to run a unified mobile web and desktop web testing codebase under the same Java class.
