Steve Kirkland-Walton modernized and stabilized automated testing infrastructure across the Bugsnag Android, Cocoa, and JavaScript repositories over three months. He migrated Android test suites to Appium-based management, expanded CI pipelines for Android 15, and unified test patterns to reduce maintenance. In bugsnag-cocoa, he enhanced CI artifact handling and improved end-to-end error reporting by refining file system operations and Docker-based workflows. For bugsnag-js, Steve refactored test orchestration using Ruby and Gherkin, upgraded browser testing environments, and cleaned up configuration drift. His work emphasized maintainability, reliability, and cross-platform readiness, demonstrating depth in Kotlin, Docker, and CI/CD configuration for robust release cycles.

May 2025 accomplishments: Strengthened testing and reliability across Bugsnag repos, delivering concrete business value through more robust test suites, clearer CI pipelines, and reduced test configuration drift. Specifics include Android: span-test modernization; Cocoa: CI/readability and end-to-end error handling improvements; JS: removal of an unused API key from test docker-compose. These efforts decrease flaky tests, accelerate feedback, and increase confidence in release quality. Technologies demonstrated: Cucumber, Android testing, Cocoa CI pipelines, Docker Compose, and test infrastructure hardening.
