Franck Lefevre engineered and modernized automated testing for the PrestaShop/PrestaShop repository, focusing on both UI and API validation for e-commerce workflows. He migrated legacy functional tests to a unified TypeScript-based ui-testing-library, expanded API coverage for product, attribute, and cart rule endpoints, and stabilized CI/CD pipelines to reduce flaky runs. Leveraging JavaScript, Playwright, and Docker, Franck refactored test data management and introduced domain-based test organization, enabling faster feedback and more reliable releases. His work addressed core Back Office and Front Office flows, improved test maintainability, and ensured robust validation of business-critical features across multiple themes and environments.
