App Dev · Quality Engineering
Quality engineered, not inspected in.
ISTQB aligned quality engineering — shift-left, test pyramids, contract testing and performance engineering.
Quality is a delivery-team property, not a downstream gate. We embed quality engineers into product squads — shifting testing left, right-sizing the test pyramid, and automating contract, performance and accessibility checks so teams ship confidently to trunk multiple times a day.
/ Capabilities
What's in scope.
Test strategy
Right-shaped test pyramid — many fast unit tests, fewer integration tests, thin end-to-end suites — reviewed quarterly.
Automation frameworks
Playwright / Cypress for web, Detox / XCUITest / Espresso for mobile, k6 / Gatling for performance.
Contract & API testing
Pact / Spectral for consumer-driven contracts, plus schema and behaviour tests in CI.
Accessibility & performance
axe-core and Lighthouse in CI, budgeted thresholds enforced on every PR.
Ownership over stewardship.
Developers own the tests they write; quality engineers coach, build shared frameworks and design the test strategy. The gate at the end is small because the pipeline earlier is strong.
Non-functional is functional.
Performance, accessibility and security tests belong in CI. If a PR silently regresses Lighthouse or introduces an axe violation, the build fails — not the release.
/ Standards & Tooling
Common questions.
Do we still need manual QA?
Yes, for exploratory testing, complex scenarios and UX judgement — but not for regression. The mix shifts from mostly manual to mostly exploratory over time.
How much test automation is too much?
When end-to-end tests are slow, flaky or duplicating unit coverage. We continuously rebalance the pyramid to keep feedback fast and signal high.
