Isabela Guimaraes engineered robust cloud provisioning and automated testing workflows in the rancher/dashboard repository, focusing on EKS, GKE, and AKS cluster creation. She developed end-to-end test suites using Cypress and TypeScript, introducing page object models and UI validations to ensure reliable cluster provisioning and reduce manual QA effort. Her work included CI/CD integration with Jenkins and GitHub Actions, automated resource cleanup, and diagnostics test reliability improvements. By refactoring selectors, enhancing error handling, and integrating test management tools, Isabela delivered maintainable, scalable automation that improved release quality, accelerated feedback cycles, and reduced operational risk for cloud infrastructure management.

March 2026 — rancher/dashboard Key features delivered - Diagnostics page tests reliability and tracking enhancements: improved focus-trap error handling; ensured cleanup of downloaded diagnostic files after tests; replaced ad-hoc file deletion with a dedicated cleanup function; added Qase integration for test case tracking. Commits: cf79cc063a20320e88350d90b0e567671b998794; c0471ad83e724874428e737fb6a102a2f2c30498; c33494708579c9067b5339316326e9679a3ac0b6. Major bugs fixed - Stabilized diagnostics test suite by expanding focus-trap workaround coverage and addressing PR feedback; implemented centralized cleanup to prevent leftover artifacts and flaky runs. (PR feedback addressed; related commits above.) Overall impact and accomplishments - Significantly improved test reliability and CI feedback speed for the diagnostics workflow, reducing release risk. Enhanced test traceability with Qase and cleaner artifact management lowered operational overhead and disk usage. Technologies/skills demonstrated - UI test automation with focus-trap handling, test artifact cleanup strategies, and test management integration (Qase). Collaborative PR review and implementation of feedback demonstrate strong teamwork and code quality discipline.

2026-01: Rancher Dashboard delivered a targeted QA automation workflow to streamline task creation across repositories. A GitHub Actions workflow now auto-creates QA tasks in rancher/qa-tasks when the candidate-automation label is added to an issue, following feedback to reduce noise and manual steps. No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on automation design and cross-repo collaboration. This work improves QA throughput, traceability, and alignment between dashboard developers and QA engineers.
