Overall, he has over 20 years of experience in business and particularly in Information Technology through various roles.

The candidate is a test automation specialist with good development and DevOps knowledge. On Contact , he has outlined his approach to automated testing in Agile Continuous Integration and Delivery, including Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) using Cucumber and Gherkin, as well as mobile app testing on both Apple iOS and Google Android with Appium and Android Studio. It contains guides for JavaScript testing with Cypress (bundled with Mocha, Chai, and Sinon), JavaScript testing with Jasmine and Karma, how to incorporate Groovy, and reporting using Serenity BDD. It offers detailed how-to documents, including a command-line driven Java framework for Selenium, Playwright, and REST-assured (for REST API testing), using Apache Maven, TestNG, and Docker. It also features a full scripted Jenkins Continuous Integration multibranch pipeline with SonarQube code analysis and code coverage already built-in. Contact clearly demonstrates how to implement and use successful test automation that delivers value.

Expectations

Bruno likes to work on projects in any phase from start to finish, including the daily running of testing projects as a test manager (managing test development and execution, reporting etc.). He likes to be involved in all aspects of software testing, including practical hands-on technical testing. He does not easily get bored and he has plenty of stamina and perseverance. He is adaptive and a quick learner with a broad technical, software testing, and general business background and extensive international experience and intercultural competence.

Contact likes to work with people and he is a good communicator. His particular strengths lie in establishing win win situations with Subject Matter Experts, who he will often inspire to work closely with the testing team, because he can make them realise that they will enjoy the benefits from working with the development/testing team in the long term by getting better performing and more reliable software to work with. He can convince Subject Matter Experts that testing is a service that works for them.

Due to his diversified background and broad range of experiences and qualifications, Contact can work through all phases of a Greenfield project from design, through implementation and execution, right through to completion.
