Accomplishments

Built a full test automation framework written in JavaScript using open source libraries (NightWatch JS and CucumberJS), the framework is fully integrated as part of the code repository pipeline build. Helping in achieving Continuous integration and deployment for the company. As a result, it helps me define the best practice in which the QA and development team can work together to make sure to deliver high quality code and business values all within the sprint. This also helps in sharing this setup with other development teams in the company. Of course, I always make sure to keep both framework and best practices to be flexible and up to date to different changes happening within the project life cycle.
