ABOUT NATALLIA ZLOTNIKAVA

Full Stack Automation Test Engineer experienced in testing of Web-based Client/Server applications performed by multiple tools and technologies in complete Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Have successfully built solutions for UI, API and database automation testing with Java development and Page Object Model design using Cucumber BDD with Selenium WebDriver, JDBC and REST Assured Library.I\'ve never thought that my life can come across with IT industry. I\'ve been living with arts around me since I was born. But at some point everyone comes to a moment when you need some changes. So, I decided to try myself in a totally new world for me. I went to Cydeo. I was afraid that there\'re no space for creativity there. But I was wrong. I was amazed by a new point of beauty: a clean organized readable working code!So, for now I can say: I fall in love with coding! Whenever I have some tasks to solve, I can\'t sleep and eat until I\'ll do it.During studying in Cydeo I\'ve worked on two projects in a real environment. It helps me a lot to understand process of CI/CD with Jenkins in Scrum methodology. Can you imagine that working in SDLC from starting point in a few weeks you can already show your client result and get their feedback? This really inspire me!My favorite part is UI automation. I know there can be a lot of difficulties, but it\'s just a challenging way to see some magic. I\'m using Selenium WebDriver and Java to automate browser. After some time and a lot of efforts you can just click \"Run\" in Runner class or execute you code from console with Maven command and you see magic! My little nephew really think that I\'m doing magic at my work =).After that we come to API. Yes, I can\'t show some visible magic here, but here we can find another side of beauty: understanding how applications is working inside, what is going on there, in the backend? For the first, when I do API testing, I make sure that application is working correctly and end-client will have good experience with our application. For the second, API allows me maintain my framework: whenever I have stable functionality, I can replace steps from UI to API to save execution time.TECHNICAL SKILLSJava, Selenium WebDriver, JUnit/TestNG, Cucumber, Gherkin, HTML, JDBS, SQL, Git/GitHub, Postman, REST API, CI/CD with Maven, Agile (Scrum,) AWS EC2, JIRA.If you want to know more about me, send me a message orplease reach out to me:at z••••••••@gmail.com
