  • Refactor existing codebases to enhance scalability, maintainability, and performance.
  • Implement SOLID design principles in automation projects to ensure high-quality, modular, and reusable code.
  • Integrate automation tools into the Test Life Cycle (TLC) and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) processes to streamline testing and deployment workflows.
  • Conduct static code analysis and improve code coverage using tools like SonarQube to ensure the quality and reliability of the automation code.
  • Develop and maintain tools that support both development and testing efforts, improving efficiency and effectiveness across the team.
  • Engage in stakeholder reporting, effectively communicating automation efforts, results, and impacts on the overall project timeline and quality.
  • Write code aimed at improving the overall testability of the software, ensuring that software designs support robust and efficient testing strategies.
  • Participation and contribution to the Inspired Testing Community of Practice.
  • Continuous improvement and contribution to Inspired Testing's standards.

Skills and Competencies:

  • Advanced knowledge and application of OOP principles in the context of automation.
