Projects (done in 2020 during self-learning software testing):
1. Ryanair
The Ryanair website is the Ryanair Airline website, where the user can book a flight ticket, manage the booking, etc. The reason why I decided to test this website is that I’m interested in traveling. I started to look for the next trip idea. In consequence, I saw a few defects. This is my first project, which I’ve done with the book “Praktyka testowania” (eng. “Testing practice”) written by Radoslaw Smiglin, who is a Polish QA and Software Testing Expert. I’ve learned a lot. How to write the test report, automation scripts in Robot Framework, and how to do the application research.
2. Live Language
The Live Language website, the language school in Glasgow, is my next project, which I decided to test after discovering a lot of defects that made the website difficult to use. I used the Exploratory Testing method to test this website and Black-Box techniques. I used my knowledge and experience from the previous project. Moreover, I used the knowledge which I gained during learning the ISTQB Syllabus.
In consequence, I’ve learned how to write better Test reports, attach more detailed information about the tested software. This, what I think is the most important is how to record the test evidence, which was really helpful to discover more defects, for instance.
3. Deichmann
The Deichmann website, a footwear retailer, is my next project, which I tested using mainly exploratory sessions and the Black-Box techniques to test the software. I’ve learned a lot about the Exploratory Testing techniques with the book “Explore It! Reduce Risk and Increase Confidence with Exploratory Testing” written by Elisabeth Hendrickson, and that helped me to practice using the techniques included in this book to explore this website.
I am an ISTQB certified Software Tester who has performed integration testing, compatibility testing, and functional testing of web applications, web application performance testing using JMeter, and API Testing using Postman.
I am a communicative person with a can-do attitude and fast learning, who is not scared of new, exciting challenges.
