Alexey Praprin

I'm a Junior+ QA Engineer based in Novi Sad, Serbia.
Looking for an opportunity to contribute to an interesting project!

In recent 1.5 years I gained very different experience of testing web UI, REST API and games (mobile/PC). 50% of these tasks were handled without technical documentation.

I have strong knowledge and understanding of the testing theory (hold a certificate by Stepik):
- SDLC/STLC, requirements analysis, Sift-Left/early stages QA involvement;
- I understand and use test design techniques: equivalence partitioning, boundaru value analysis, use case testing, state transition testing, exploratory testing;
- hands-on experience in functional and non-functional testing: smoke, sanity, regression, retest, UI/UX, e2e, UAT;
- test documentation: I can create checklists, test-cases, suits/ I make bug-reports readable and useful so devs don't cry (good title/description, clear steps, screenshots/videos, severity/priority proposal;

Tech skills:
- REST API validation: Postman (a little bit of scripting), Swagger, DevTools, Fiddler
- JSON/XML reading and validation;
- Web UI: manual testing (UX/UI), tech. docs verification;
- HTTP, HTTPS, status codes;
- PostgreSQL: simple SQL-queries, DBeaver, pgAdmin
- Traffic sniffing and Request substitution with Fiddler (Charles Proxy as well) or DevTools;
- SDK testing with Android Studio;
- Appium: basic knowledge;
- Bug-tracking: Jira, YouTrack, etc. (ready to learn any other);
- Test-management: TestRail. Jira (ready to learn any other);
- Git, GitHub;
- AI knowledge + AI-assisted coding, test-case creation, etc.
- Agile/Scrum;

Strong analytical and root-cause-analysis skills, effective communication, and experience collaborating with developers, product managers, designers, and cross-functional Agile teams. I also bring a strong eye for visual/UX detail from a 9-year background in videography and photography.
