Ekaterina Chernobrovkina
@ekaterinachernobrovk
QA engineer focused on manual and API testing, building Python/Playwright automation for fast, reliable releases.
What I'm looking for
I’m a QA Engineer with 1 year and 8 months of hands-on experience delivering quality assurance for a complex global retail platform across 15+ countries in a SAFe/Agile environment. I bring strong grounding in manual testing (functional, regression, exploratory, smoke), API testing with Postman, and SQL-based validation.
In my current role, I’m building test automation expertise in Python and Playwright. I developed an automated end-to-end test suite for IKEA’s website covering localization across 3 regions, using Pytest, Page Object Model (POM), GitHub Actions CI/CD, and Allure reporting, while working toward a more efficient regression cycle.
Previously as a Middle QA Engineer (Fujitsu preferred supplier of Services), I delivered functional, regression, and exploratory testing while collaborating with international cross-functional teams. I optimized test documentation by updating 500+ test cases and 150 test suites in Azure DevOps, mentored 14 newcomers, and created Confluence guides for fiscal data verification; I’m also exploring Gen-AI and AI-driven testing approaches using ISTQB CT-GenAI guidance.
