Quality Assurance Developer
Julian is an experienced QA engineer with more than a decade of experience working in the QA field. While focused on automated testing and the improvements it brings, he has a background in manual testing so he can bring the best of both worlds. For test automation, he has worked most extensively with Selenium WebDriver and languages such as Python, Java, JavaScript. But he also has experience with multiple frameworks and tools.

The most amazing...
...project I've worked on is the automation of a project from scratch that was previously only manually tested. It saved the team hundreds of hours.

Experience
Automation Suite
I talked with the rest of the QA team who were working on the manual testing and together we defined which test cases should be automated. I prepared a short demo of the most basic test cases to show the client how much it improved our work. They loved it and asked to have most of their testing automated.
I decided to use Selenium and implemented all my tests in Java and JUnit. After the first regression tests finished, we set up continuous integration with Hudson so that the test suite would run every night and give us reports of any present issues. Eventually, I expanded the testing to other projects for the same client, even for some with Flex, for which I used Selenium-Flex along with Selenium and JUnit.
This was the first project where I ended up building an automation framework from scratch, over a decade ago.
