@leylagozalova
Senior QA Engineer specializing in banking and government systems, delivering zero-bug, shift-left, API-to-UI testing.
AzerbaijanWhat I'm looking for
I’m a QA Engineer with 6+ years testing banking and government digital systems, blending deep test design with hands-on functional, regression, integration, and UAT work across UI and APIs.
At Kapital Bank, I write test plans and test cases using equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, and decision tables to validate service integrations and basic security checks (OWASP Top 10, auth/authorization). I increased execution speed for repetitive scenarios through UI automation (Java, Selenium, Cucumber) and improved suite reliability by integrating API test suites into CI/CD pipelines, while validating A/B tests and feature-flagged releases.
I also own regression strategy and defect triage, classifying severity/priority and using log analysis to speed up investigation and ensure data and event correctness. Previously, I ensured end-to-end quality for a government-level eTender platform, applying shift-left testing by reviewing requirements early and validating billing/payment workflows with SQL and performance testing (JMeter), while bridging QA and business analysis.
