Technical overview
How I plan and run QA
QA starts with critical paths: login, pay, submit forms and account deletion. I write test plans from user stories, run functional and regression passes, and file bugs with severity and clear steps to reproduce.
Cross-browser and mobile matrices catch layout and Safari quirks. API contract tests catch backend drift before the UI is blamed. Playwright or Cypress cover stable happy paths; exploratory testing covers new flows that are too early to lock into automation.
Edge cases matter commercially: empty carts, expired sessions, double clicks on pay, wrong locale strings. Performance smoke checks and error-monitor review sit beside functional QA so a green suite does not hide production exceptions.
Common QA tasks I help with
- How to write a test plan from user stories before launch
- How to regression-test checkout after a release
- How to cover a browser and mobile device matrix efficiently
- How to add API contract tests for critical endpoints
- How to reproduce and report a race on double-submit pay
- How to automate stable happy paths with Playwright or Cypress
- How to test expired sessions and empty-cart edge cases
- How to verify analytics events without breaking consent flows
- How to triage bugs by severity for a short release window
- How to run a performance smoke check before go-live
