Responsibility for Automated Testing
Period: 05/2015 – 03/2016
Role: Software Developer
Client: Ferber-Software GmbH
Team size: 40
Person days: 30
A strategic project to improve software quality across all product areas. The goal was the company-wide standardisation of testing practices to increase the stability of night builds and detect regressions early. This included both technical adaptations and knowledge transfer within the development department.
My contributions to the project::
- Leading by example
- Company-wide establishment of best practices for test automation
- Agreeing on test coverage targets with testers
- Training sessions on performing unit tests and patterns
- Analysis of failed tests in the night build (e.g. during daylight saving time transitions)
