Automation from the browser to the database

I test every layer of an application: what users click, what the APIs return and what ends up stored.

How I automate

UI, built to scale

Selenium WebDriver with Core Java, Page Object Model and TestNG. Data-driven, BDD and hybrid frameworks, with parallel runs across Chrome, Firefox and IE.

APIs in three stacks

Java data-driven suites with Allure reports, Karate BDD, and a Node.js Mocha framework. Postman and SoapUI for exploratory and SOAP work, JMeter for load.

Wired into the pipeline

Suites triggered from Jenkins, code in Git and GitHub, and Docker containers for isolated test environments (my Docker Hub). Logs traced through CloudWatch and Splunk.
