Over six months, contributed to the SkillsFundingAgency/das-playwright-automation-test-suite by building and enhancing automated UI tests for training provider management, apprenticeship units, and navigation flows. Leveraged C#, Playwright, and SQL-backed utilities to expand test coverage, improve data integrity, and ensure deterministic, reliable end-to-end scenarios. Addressed UI usability and terminology consistency, streamlined navigation, and reduced test flakiness through robust selector strategies and targeted refactoring. Fixed critical bugs affecting logout flows and confirmation messaging, enabling faster CI feedback and more stable releases. Maintained strong traceability and documentation, supporting maintainable, production-ready automation that reduces risk and accelerates validation for new features.
June 2026 - SkillsFundingAgency/das-playwright-automation-test-suite: Focused on stabilizing UI tests to align with changes in navigation and confirmation messaging. Updated selectors for navigation paths and confirmation messaging, specifically ReturnToManagingStandardsDashboard and VerifyUpdatedContactDetails, to reduce flakiness. Implemented a fix for a failing test (commit 822ad0ae22f90c51ae7a30d1e8a7869e959984ab). This work yields more reliable CI feedback, faster release cycles, and lower maintenance costs for UI tests. Technologies demonstrated include Playwright-based UI test automation, robust selector strategies, and strong Git traceability for changes.
