Leading web studio with project development and dedicated teams (4–6 people: developers, PM, designers, analysts). Work on various projects: from landings to complex web services.
Responsibilities:
- Full cycle of testing systems on 1C: from planning (test plans, decomposition of requirements) to project delivery and post-release support (analysis of metrics in Kibana/Grafana, monitoring of incidents).
- Functional testing, non-functional testing, smoke and regression testing, API testing (REST/SOAP with JSON/XML via Postman, Swagger), WebSockets, integration testing, UI testing.
- Working with web platforms (cross-browser testing in BrowserStack), desktop applications (Windows/macOS/Linux), mobile devices (Android/iOS, Android Studio/Xcode emulators), tablets (IPadOS).
- Developing test documentation: checklists (TestRail/Qase/Notion), test cases (normal/chaos scenarios), bug reports (Jira/YouTrack), testing reports.
Achievements:
- Optimized testing of an online store with a high load (on Bitrix) - test coverage reached 95%, 500+ bugs were found, which significantly reduced the number of errors in production.
- Developed and implemented a testing structure, which reduced the time for checking new releases by 40%.
- Improved interaction between testing and development - due to effective bug reporting, reduced the time for fixing critical bugs by 2 times.
