PROFILE
Elena Sayapina
Elena Sayapina developed and maintained automated UI regression test suites and cross-platform input handling features for the JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime repository over a ten-month period. She focused on Java and C++ to build robust test coverage for macOS and Windows, addressing issues such as keyboard event handling, focus management in dialogs and popups, and international keyboard layouts. Elena improved test reliability by refactoring synchronization patterns, enhancing diagnostics, and updating font management for UI consistency. Her work included both feature development and targeted bug fixes, resulting in more stable CI pipelines, reduced release risk, and improved user experience across JetBrains IDEs and platforms.

Apr 1, 2020April 2020 — JetBrainsRuntime: Key event test reliability and macOS key handling improvements. Delivered a refactor of the AllKeyCode test to enhance key event handling, added synchronization to ensure key press events are correctly registered, and improved error handling for clearer failures. This work also includes a regression test correction for AllKeyCode.java (JBR-2328) and contributes to more stable cross-platform validation and faster feedback for runtime changes.

Sep 1, 2019In 2019-09, delivered a regression test addressing popup focus behavior in JetBrainsRuntime (JBR-1417). The test ensures focus returns to the correct parent when closing nested popups, simulating opening and closing multiple popups to verify robust focus management and prevent the regression identified in JBR-1417. This work strengthens UI stability for popup interactions on JBR 11 and enhances test coverage for focus flows.
