I lead the quality assurance efforts for the SEO department of a leading online retailer specializing in recreational equipment, dedicated to ensuring the robustness and optimal performance of SEO-driven functionalities.
Upon joining the team, I conducted an in-depth analysis of diverse code bases across multiple microsites to assess the testing landscape of dispersed automated tests associated with SEO features.
Based on the findings of my assessment, I devised a comprehensive strategy to consolidate and fortify the testing infrastructure by advocating for the establishment of a centralized test repository. Leveraging cutting-edge Java-based technologies including JUnit5, Maven, AssertJ, Selenium-WebDriver, Log4j2, and JSoup, I orchestrated the seamless integration of this repository with the client's existing infrastructure.
The resulting centralized test repository was engineered for hybrid execution capabilities, enabling standalone execution of tests targeting multiple microsites, while the same tests could also be integrated into these microsites' code bases and their corresponding CI/CD pipelines. This initiative significantly curtailed redundancy in testing efforts, fostering a unified repository as the definitive source for automated tests spanning SEO functionalities.
