- Defined the coding pattern, regulation, and best practices for UI and API automation.
- Coordinated with the local and remote contractors to deliver and maintain API and UI automation tests.

- Designed and wrote a test plan and used a Bash script to build tools to automate the installation and upgrades of all in-house products.
Experience
UReport—Automation Reporting Web Application with Auto Failure Analysis
With public and easy-to-integrate RESTful API, UReport works for all automation testing frameworks. With the build-in dashboards, managers can see the past automation executions in various charts and have a crystal clear overview of the product's quality, trends for the stability of the automation results, and regression rate with past releases. Automation developers can focus on the root cause of individual test case failure with the failure messages, stack trace, and screenshots from any selected executions and compare current executions with the past ones.
Automation Testing Framework for UKG
I acted as the designer and architect of the framework's UI part and a designer and contributor on the API part of the framework. The framework offered a customized page factory solution that reduced 30% line of code for UI page objects. The framework is also connected to an open-source reporting system I developed that helps the team troubleshoot daily failures and keep up the rapid development cycle while maintaining a 97%~99% automation nightly pass rate.
