Tangerine

Quality Engineer

During my internship at Tangerine as a Quality Engineering Intern, I played a pivotal role in the regression team, ensuring the consistency and stability of software post-updates for mobile and web applications. I developed TypeScript scripts to expand test coverage and improve user interface functionality across both platforms.

Noteworthy achievements during this period include the revitalization of the Selenium WebDriver implementation, boosting the speed of mobile web testing execution by over 25% and significantly benefiting offshore teams and remote employees. I also successfully presented enhanced Selenium WebDriver updates to senior management. Additionally, I developed Java scripts that accelerated the migration of API test scripts from Postman to Eclipse, markedly reducing the workload on my team and streamlining the transition process.

This internship has equipped me with valuable skills in quality engineering, scripting, and project management, emphasizing the importance of innovation and efficiency in software testing.
